Hot compress therapy for chronic pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease is divided into acute pelvic inflammatory disease and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Since there is a distinction between acute and chronic, it means that the treatment methods are different. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease is mostly caused by. Infection caused by improper treatment, such as carelessness during surgery or unclean sexual life. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is mostly untreated and cured acute pelvic inflammatory disease. And the delay has caused chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. So what are the differences in treatment methods?

Acute pelvic inflammatory disease is mainly caused by pathogen invasion after delivery and abortion, infection due to failure to pay attention to aseptic operation during intrauterine surgery, direct spread of inflammation of adjacent organs, and when the body's resistance is reduced, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease will develop acutely and become acute inflammation. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is mostly caused by failure to thoroughly treat acute pelvic inflammatory disease or the patient's poor physical condition, resulting in a prolonged course of the disease. There may also be no history of acute inflammation.

① General treatment: rest in bed, semi-recumbent position, and keep the vulva clean. ② Etiology treatment: mainly anti-infection treatment. Choose different drugs for aerobic bacteria, anaerobic bacteria and chlamydia in combination. ③Symptomatic treatment: Physical cooling is the main approach when fever occurs. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, antipyretics can be used. For chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, physical therapy can be added to promote local blood circulation in the pelvis, improve metabolism, and facilitate the absorption of inflammation. Commonly used methods include shortwave, ultrasound, microwave, and drug ion introduction. ④Surgical treatment: Acute pelvic inflammatory disease forms an abscess, which requires incision and drainage. Patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and masses, such as hydrosalpinx or tubo-ovarian cysts, can undergo surgical removal.

The main treatment for acute pelvic inflammatory disease is anti-infection and symptomatic treatment. For chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, physical therapy is added while fighting infection. For those who are busy with work and have no time to go to the hospital, or who are inconvenient to go to the hospital for various reasons, hot compress treatment can be performed at home, because hot compress can dilate blood vessels, promote blood circulation, and promote the absorption of inflammation. You can use heated coarse salt, put it in a bag, and apply it to your lower abdomen for about half an hour, twice a day. You can also use a hot water bottle instead of a coarse salt bag.

Acute pelvic inflammatory disease should be treated thoroughly to prevent it from becoming chronic. Exercise regularly to strengthen your physical fitness and improve your disease resistance.
