How to detect pelvic inflammatory disease?

Diseases can only be cured with timely treatment, which means that patients require early detection of the disease so that it can be better treated. For gynecological diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease, which are extremely harmful, it can only be detected through examination. Because the disease is not so obvious, it will not be discovered until it becomes serious, and at that time it is already difficult to treat. So how do we detect pelvic inflammatory disease? Let’s take a look at the following introduction.

Once you are diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease, you should go to the hospital for examination. The methods of checking pelvic inflammatory disease are:

Self-identification: The most typical symptom of pelvic inflammatory disease is increased vaginal discharge, which presents a large amount of purulent or sticky discharge. If the inflammatory infection continues, it will spread to the fallopian tubes, uterus, ovaries and even the pelvic nerve plexus, so the patient will experience abdominal pain or even pain around the pelvis. Patients can self-identify this symptom.

Examination of pelvic inflammatory disease requires examination of the vulva: Generally speaking, the pubic hair of a normal vulva grows with the tip pointing downward in a triangular shape, the labia majora is dark in color, the labia minora is slightly red, and there are no ulcers, dermatitis, or growths on the perineum. The normal clitoris is less than 2.5 cm in length, and the mucosa near the urethral opening is light pink and free of growths.

Secondly, a vaginal examination is also needed: How to detect chronic pelvic inflammatory disease? The normal vaginal wall mucosa is light pink and has wrinkles, and there are no ulcers, growths, cysts, vaginal septa, or congenital malformations such as double vagina. Normal vaginal discharge is egg white-like or white and paste-like, has no fishy smell, and is in small amounts. It increases during ovulation and pregnancy.

There are many ways to check for pelvic inflammatory disease. If patients find themselves having similar symptoms, they must go for a check-up in time to avoid delaying the treatment of the disease and causing greater harm to the human body. In addition, women should also pay more attention to their personal hygiene, pay attention to diet, and exercise more.
