Can I run if I have pelvic inflammatory disease?

In our lives, many people particularly like aerobic exercise such as running. Most people choose to run in the morning or evening, because these two time periods are the best for exercising. Running can not only relax the muscles of the whole body, but also help improve the lung capacity of runners. For women, it can also prevent pelvic inflammatory disease. So, can you run if you have pelvic inflammatory disease?

Appropriate running will not have any effect. For patients with pelvic inflammatory disease, those with severe lower abdominal pain and obvious pelvic inflammation in gynecological examination should use broad-spectrum antibiotics such as penicillins and cephalosporins, combined with metronidazole, and intravenous drip after menstruation. If there is a mass in the pelvic cavity or the inflammation is severe and recurrent, surgical treatment is feasible.

In addition, physical therapy such as short wave, ultra short wave, infrared, drug ion penetration, etc. can promote pelvic blood circulation and help absorb inflammation, and can be used as an option. Chinese medicine that promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis, clears away heat and detoxifies can also be considered as appropriate.

Almost all pelvic inflammatory diseases are caused by ascending infection, in which pathogens ascend from the vagina through the cervix to the uterine body and appendages, causing inflammation. The specific treatment plan is as follows:

1. General treatment

Bed rest and semi-recumbent position are beneficial for the accumulation of inflammatory exudate in the rectouterine pouch, thereby limiting the inflammation, and are also beneficial for the discharge of secretions from the uterine cavity and cervical canal. Provide nutrition and fluid replacement to correct water and electrolyte imbalance. Use physical cooling when the fever is high, try to avoid unnecessary gynecological examinations to avoid the spread of inflammation, and if there is abdominal distension, gastrointestinal decompression should be performed.

2. Medication

Antibiotics are the main method for treating pelvic inflammatory disease. Effective antibiotics should be selected to achieve the purpose of cure and prevent acute disease from turning into chronic disease. Antibiotics should be used in sufficient quantities. Combination medication. Adjust at any time according to the results of drug sensitivity test and clinical treatment response.

At the same time, you can choose Chinese medicine treatment. The treatment principles are clearing away heat, detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

3. Surgery

It is mainly used to treat tubo-ovarian abscess or pelvic abscess that is not satisfactorily controlled by antibiotics.

Indications for surgery:

(1) Ineffective drug treatment: If the patient's body temperature does not drop, the poisoning symptoms worsen, or the pelvic mass increases within 48 to 72 hours after drug treatment of tubal ovarian abscess or pelvic abscess, surgery should be performed promptly to avoid abscess rupture.

(2) Persistent abscess: The condition improves after drug treatment, and after 2 to 3 weeks of continued inflammation control, the mass still persists but has become localized.

(3) Abscess rupture: laparotomy is required while high-dose antibiotics are given.

Surgical method:

Surgery can be performed through the abdomen or laparoscopy depending on the situation. The principle of surgery is to remove the lesion. If the pelvic abscess is located low, the pus can be drained through the posterior vaginal fornix and antibiotics can be injected at the same time. Young patients should try to preserve ovarian function and mainly adopt conservative surgery; for older patients, those with bilateral adnexal involvement or recurrent adnexal abscesses, total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy can be performed; the scope of surgery for extremely debilitated and critically ill patients should be determined according to the patient's specific circumstances.

4. Other treatments

It has been reported that for fallopian tube-ovarian abscesses that are resistant to antibiotic treatment for 72 hours, percutaneous drainage technology under ultrasound guidance can achieve better treatment results.
