What are the symptoms and medications for pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease mostly occurs in women who are sexually active and menstruating. It rarely occurs in women before their first menstruation, without sexual life, and after menopause. When it occurs directly, it is often the spread of inflammation of adjacent organs. If pelvic inflammatory disease is not treated promptly and completely, it can cause infertility, tubal pregnancy, chronic pelvic pain, and recurrent inflammation, which will seriously affect women's reproductive health and increase the financial burden on families and society. So what are the symptoms and medications for pelvic inflammatory disease?

In real life, not all women suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease, the disease occurs in only a very small number of cases. This is because the female urinary system has a natural defense function. Under normal circumstances, it can resist the invasion of bacteria. Only when the body's immunity is weakened or the natural defense function of women is destroyed due to other reasons, pelvic inflammatory disease will occur.

If you have chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, you should pay attention to oral anti-inflammatory drugs and local physical therapy. You can take erythromycin for treatment. Vaginal medication is the main treatment. After the inflammation is eliminated, you can do a bilateral fallopian tube patency check 3-7 days after the menstrual period is clean, and pay attention to the ovulation monitoring status. Having sex every other day during the ovulation period can increase the probability of pregnancy.

What causes pelvic inflammatory disease?

What causes pelvic inflammatory disease? Pelvic inflammatory disease can be caused by exogenous and endogenous pathogens. It can be caused by sexual activity, lower reproductive system infection, post-operative infection of the uterus, poor sexual hygiene, direct spread of inflammation of adjacent organs, and recurrence of acute pelvic inflammatory disease.

1. Age: According to data, the most common age for pelvic inflammatory disease is 15-25 years old. Young women are more susceptible to pelvic inflammatory disease, which may be related to frequent sexual activities, disorder of cervical columnar epithelial cells, and weaker mechanical defense function of cervical mucus.

2. Sexual activity: Pelvic inflammatory disease often occurs in sexually active women, especially those who are young when they first have sexual intercourse, have multiple sexual partners, have frequent sexual intercourse, and whose sexual partners have reproductive tract infections.

3. Lower reproductive system infection: Lower reproductive system infections such as gonorrhea, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, cervicitis, mycoplasma cervicitis and bacterial vaginal disease are closely related to the occurrence of pelvic inflammatory disease.

4. Infection after intrauterine surgical operation: such as curettage, hydrosalpingography, hysterography, hysteroscopy, etc., because the surgery causes damage, bleeding, and necrosis of the reproductive system mucosa, resulting in the increase of endogenous pathogens in the lower reproductive system.

5. Poor sexual hygiene: Sexual intercourse during menstruation and the use of unclean menstrual pads can allow pathogens to invade and cause inflammation.
