What are the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease during pregnancy

Pelvic inflammatory disease mainly refers to the infection of the pelvis by bacteria, which eventually causes inflammation above the pelvis. Therefore, when pelvic inflammatory disease occurs, it is usually an inflammation or even a complication caused by multiple inflammations, which has caused great harm to many female patients, especially pregnant women. So, what are the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease during pregnancy?

The clinical symptom of pelvic inflammatory disease during pregnancy is lower abdominal pain. If the inflammation is mild, mild abdominal pain will occur. If the inflammation is serious, there will be severe lower abdominal pain, possible pain at the anus, or a small amount of bleeding in the vagina. In this case, you need to go to the hospital immediately for medical treatment. The doctor can perform a pelvic B-ultrasound examination to rule out whether the abdominal pain is caused by uterine contractions. If the pain caused by the uterus is eliminated and pelvic inflammation is considered, oral anti-inflammatory drugs, such as cefixime, can be taken in this case, which is relatively safe during pregnancy. You can also give intravenous drips, such as antiviral drugs such as penicillin or cefixime. This kind of medicine does not affect the development of the fetus. With active anti-infection drug treatment, the pain will gradually ease and subside.

Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to inflammation of the female reproductive system and surrounding tissues, mainly including endometritis, salpingitis, bilateral tubal uterine and ovarian cysts, and pelvic peritonitis.

In addition, patients with pelvic inflammatory disease are prone to pelvic hematoma due to inflammatory irritation. After the hematoma loosens, the uterus is closer to the duodenum and is compressed to cause a feeling of falling. The uterus squeezes the duodenum and stimulates the duodenal mucosa to contract, resulting in defecation. After the patient becomes pregnant, the pelvic and uterine hematomas are more obvious. When the inflammation spreads to the duodenum, it will irritate the duodenum and cause diarrhea, which can easily cause miscarriage of the embryo that has just implanted.
