What to do if you have a fever with pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease. After suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease, you need to go to the hospital for regular examination in time to understand the specific cause, and then take good methods to treat it. If you do not pay attention to good treatment, it may be serious and may cause the patient to have a fever, which means that the inflammation is getting worse. Let's learn about what to do if you have a fever due to pelvic inflammatory disease.

What to do if you have a fever with pelvic inflammatory disease

Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease are prone to increased vaginal discharge, lower back and abdominal pain, etc. after the onset of the disease. Once these symptoms occur, they should go to the hospital for appropriate examinations in time to see if they are really suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease. Now the most concerned issue for patients with pelvic inflammatory disease is whether pelvic inflammatory disease can be cured. In fact, whether pelvic inflammatory disease can be cured mainly depends on whether a suitable treatment method has been found.

As long as we find the most suitable treatment method for ourselves in a regular gynecological hospital, we don’t have to worry about whether pelvic inflammatory disease can be cured. In addition to timely treatment, patients with pelvic inflammatory disease must also pay attention to personal hygiene, especially during menstruation. When menstruation comes, we need to choose qualified sanitary napkins. Only in this way can we avoid pelvic inflammatory disease from harming us again.

Patients often feel uncomfortable due to the symptoms of pelvic effusion, and their spirits and complexion are not very good. Some patients also have severe psychological pressure, and their bodies and minds are tortured. If pelvic inflammatory disease is not treated promptly and effectively, it will cause the rapid spread of pathogenic bacteria, the area of ​​pelvic fluid accumulation will expand, and complications such as salpingitis will occur, which will hinder the normal operation of sperm, eggs, and fertilized eggs and affect fertility.

Pelvic inflammatory disease is divided into acute pelvic inflammatory disease and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease is characterized by a history of acute infection, dull pain in the lower abdomen, muscle tension, tenderness and rebound pain, accompanied by rapid heart rate, fever, and a large amount of purulent secretions in the vagina.

The symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease are sometimes low fever and fatigue. Some patients develop symptoms of neurasthenia due to the long course of the disease, such as insomnia, lack of energy, and general discomfort. Distension and pain in the lower abdomen and soreness in the lumbar region are often aggravated during fatigue, after sex, and before and after the menstrual cycle.

What causes pelvic inflammatory disease?

The main pathogens that cause pelvic inflammatory disease are: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, anaerobic bacteria, and sexually transmitted pathogens (such as gonococci, Chlamydia trachomatis, mycoplasma, and herpes virus). The main causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease are postpartum or abortion infection, postoperative infection after intrauterine surgery, poor menstrual hygiene, and direct spread of inflammation from adjacent organs.

Acute pelvic inflammatory disease can cause the body to develop acute endometritis and acute myometritis, acute salpingitis, pyosalpinx, tubo-ovarian abscess, acute pelvic connective tissue inflammation, acute pelvic peritonitis, sepsis and septicemia, etc. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is often caused by failure to thoroughly treat acute pelvic inflammatory disease, or by the patient's poor physical constitution and prolonged course of the disease. It can cause chronic salpingitis and hydrosalpinx, salpingo-oophoritis and tubo-ovarian cysts, chronic pelvic connective tissue inflammation, and what are the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease.

1. Chronic salpingitis and hydrosalpinx

Chronic salpingitis is mostly bilateral, with mild or moderate swelling of the fallopian tubes. The fimbria may be partially or completely closed and adhered to the surrounding tissues. In addition, sometimes the mucosal epithelium and fibrous tissue in the isthmus of the fallopian tube proliferate and adhere, causing the fallopian tube to become nodular and thickened, which is called nodular salpingitis. When the inflammation of the fallopian tube is mild, the fimbria and isthmus are adhered and closed, and serous exudate accumulates to form hydrosalpinx; sometimes tubal pus becomes chronic, the pus is gradually absorbed, and the serous fluid continues to seep out of the tube wall and fill the tube cavity, which can also form hydrosalpinx. The surface of the hydrops fallopian tube is smooth, the wall of the tube is very thin, and it is shaped like a sausage or a distillation flask with a curved neck. It curls backwards and may be free or have membrane-like adhesions with the surrounding tissues.

2. Fallopian tube oophoritis and fallopian tube ovarian cysts

When the fallopian tubes become inflamed, they may spread to the ovaries and they may adhere to each other to form an inflammatory mass, or the fimbria of the fallopian tubes may adhere to the ovaries and fluid may seep out to form a fallopian tube-ovarian cyst. It may also be formed by the absorption of pus from a fallopian tube-ovarian abscess.

Because the causes of female pelvic inflammatory disease are different, the treatment methods are also very different. Generally speaking, female pelvic inflammatory disease is caused by poor menstrual hygiene, surgical infection, etc. But don't worry, it can be cured. The above is an introduction to how female pelvic inflammatory disease is caused. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
