What are the sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease?

What are the sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease? Pelvic inflammatory disease is a gynecological disease that is common among women. This type of disease will leave certain sequelae, which is quite harmful to women. It will cause some inconvenience in women's lives, and even more seriously, it will cause reproductive problems. Therefore, pelvic inflammatory disease should be paid attention to, and the treatment must be thorough, without leaving sequelae and causing other serious problems.

The sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease generally manifest in the following aspects:

1. Infertility: Adhesion and blockage of fallopian tubes can cause infertility. The incidence of infertility after acute pelvic inflammatory disease is 20% to 30%.

2. Ectopic pregnancy: The incidence of ectopic pregnancy after pelvic inflammatory disease is 8-10 times that of normal women.

3. Chronic pelvic pain: Adhesions, scars and pelvic congestion caused by inflammation often cause lower abdominal distension, pain and lumbar pain, which often worsen after fatigue, sexual intercourse and before and after menstruation. About 20% of acute pelvic inflammatory disease is followed by chronic pelvic pain. Chronic pelvic pain often occurs 4 to 8 weeks after an acute attack of pelvic inflammatory disease.

4. Recurrent pelvic inflammatory disease: Due to the destruction of the fallopian tube tissue structure caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, the local defense function is weakened. If the patient is still in the same high-risk factors, pelvic inflammatory disease may be reinfected and cause repeated attacks. About 25% of people with a history of pelvic inflammatory disease will have another attack.

At present, Western medicine mainly uses antibiotics for treatment, which is more effective in controlling sensitive bacterial infections in the acute phase of pelvic inflammatory disease, but the effect is not satisfactory for the sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease. Traditional Chinese medicine mainly uses syndrome differentiation and treatment, combined with a variety of external treatment methods, and has better clinical effects.
