How to prevent pelvic inflammatory disease, do this to stay away from pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a gynecological disease that has a great impact on women's lives and bodies. In order to be on the safe side, it is necessary to do a good job of preventing pelvic inflammatory disease. As for how to prevent pelvic inflammatory disease, you can prevent it from the aspects of life. To prevent pelvic inflammatory disease, you must pay attention to the cleanliness of private parts.

1. Gynecological examination

During childbirth, miscarriage, and induced abortion, attention should be paid to cleanliness and hygiene, and utensils and instruments should be strictly disinfected to prevent infection.

2. Pay attention to the hygiene of sexual life

Both husband and wife should clean the vulva to prevent pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, and Trichomonas from entering the vagina, which may cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited during menstruation and within 60 days after childbirth. Sexual intercourse is prohibited for one month after abortion.

3. Cleaning of private parts

You should clean your vulva regularly, change your underwear frequently, and keep it clean. At the same time, you should strengthen your nutrition, pay attention to rest, regulate your emotions, exercise appropriately, and enhance your physical fitness and disease resistance.

4. Eliminate all routes of infection

Keep the private parts clean and dry, wash the vulva with clean water every night, and use a dedicated basin. Do not use your hands to wash the vagina, and do not use hot water, soap, etc. to wash the vulva. During pelvic inflammatory disease, the amount of leucorrhea is large and sticky, so you should change your underwear frequently and avoid wearing tight or synthetic underwear.

5. Avoid infection

If there is vaginal bleeding during menstruation, after abortion, and after gynecological surgery such as IUD insertion and removal, you must refrain from sexual intercourse, swimming, tub bathing, and sauna bathing. Sanitary napkins should be changed frequently, as this will reduce the body's resistance and allow pathogenic bacteria to easily enter the body and cause infection.

6. Cooperate with treatment

Patients diagnosed with acute or subacute pelvic inflammatory disease must follow the doctor's instructions and actively cooperate with treatment. The patient must rest in bed or take a semi-recumbent position to facilitate localization of inflammation and discharge of secretions. Patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease should not overwork, and should combine work and rest, and exercise in moderation to avoid worsening of symptoms.

7. Keep warm

Fever patients usually sweat a lot when the fever subsides. They should pay attention to keeping warm and keeping the body dry. Change clothes after sweating and avoid air conditioning or direct convection wind.

8. Observe leucorrhea

Pay attention to the amount, quality, color and taste of leucorrhea. If the amount of leucorrhea is large, the color is yellow and thick, and there is a foul odor, it means that the condition is serious. If the leucorrhea turns from yellow to white (or light yellow), the amount changes from large to small, and the taste tends to be normal (slightly sour), it means that the condition has improved.

9. Observe your stool

Patients with acute or subacute pelvic inflammatory disease should keep their bowel movements regular and observe the nature of their stools. If you see pus in your stool or have a feeling of urgency and heaviness in your abdomen, you should go to the hospital immediately to prevent pelvic abscess from rupturing the intestinal wall and causing acute peritonitis.

10. Treat the disease with the right medicine, and don’t rush to seek medical treatment

Some patients suffer from chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and take antibiotics on their own when they feel a little uncomfortable. Long-term use will cause vaginal flora disorder, which will cause increased vaginal secretions and present as white, bean curd-like leucorrhea. At this time, you should go to the hospital immediately to rule out candidal vaginitis.
