Diagram of the location of the peritoneum

When a woman's pelvic reproductive organs and surrounding connective tissue and pelvic retroperitoneum become inflamed, it is called pelvic inflammatory disease, including acute pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic peritonitis, adnexitis, metritis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation, etc. It can occur in one or more places at the same time and is one of the common diseases in women. In fact, when it comes to the pelvis, everyone may think of a professional term, that is, retroperitoneum. Let's take a look at the detailed explanation of the retroperitoneum and understand what this is.

A thin and smooth serous membrane coming from the abdominal and pelvic walls and the surface of abdominal and pelvic organs. The surface layer lining the abdominal cavity and pelvic wall is called the retroperitoneum. Part of the surface layer covering the internal organs, the retroperitoneum. The parietal retroperitoneum and the visceral retroperitoneum continue to migrate toward each other, creating an irregular, irreversible cystic space called the peritoneal cavity.

The peritoneal cavity of men is completely closed, but because the abdominal openings of the fallopian tubes on both sides of women open into the peritoneal cavity, they can communicate with the outside through the fallopian tubes, uterus and vagina. Therefore, if women do not pay attention to the hygiene of the lower body, the infection can spread upwards and cause pelvic inflammatory disease.

What is the best way to treat pelvic inflammatory disease?

1. General treatment

General treatment: The purpose is to eliminate the patient's mental worries, enhance the confidence of treatment, and improve nutrition. During treatment, the patient should remember to exercise, pay attention to reasonable time arrangement, and enhance the body's resistance. In any case, this is essential in the whole process of treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease.

2. Drug therapy

Drug therapy: Drug therapy can not only control the condition of pelvic inflammatory disease to prevent its malignant transformation, but also can be used periodically as a basic treatment method. Medication treatment is very prone to recurrence, so now women tend to choose physical therapy.

3. Physical therapy

Physical therapy: Physical therapy for pelvic inflammatory disease refers to the use of medium and short waves, low-frequency therapeutic devices, ion penetration, and wax therapy to carry out positive stimulation to promote blood circulation in the pelvic area, improve the nutritional status of tissues, increase metabolism, and facilitate the absorption and elimination of pelvic inflammatory parts.

4. Surgical treatment

Surgical treatment: Surgical treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease was rarely used, but patients with lumps (such as hydrosalpinx or bilateral fallopian tube ovarian cysts) can undergo surgical treatment. If there are small foci of infection and repeated inflammation, surgical treatment is also recommended. Surgical treatment is based on complete recovery and to prevent residual disease and the chance of recurrence, unilateral adnexectomy or total hysterectomy plus bilateral adnexectomy is performed.

The above summary is some of the more common methods of treating pelvic inflammatory disease. The best treatment plan should be selected according to each person's disease characteristics. In fact, between the two, it is better to prevent and learn how to treat the disease in pain. In daily life care, we should cultivate good personal living habits, improve nutrition, actively exercise, pay attention to reasonable time arrangement, and actively treat.
