Can pelvic inflammatory disease cause leg pain?

Pelvic inflammatory disease is so common in life that some women do not take it seriously. This disease is quite serious. The most difficult part is that it is easy to recur. It may recur again after being treated, because of lack of proper care. The second recurrence is more troublesome and even requires surgical treatment in severe cases. So, can pelvic inflammatory disease cause leg soreness?

Pelvic inflammatory disease can be acute or chronic. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease has an acute onset and is a serious condition. Patients all have chills, fever, and lower abdominal pain to varying degrees. Sometimes the urinary tract may also experience symptoms of irritation or compression, such as dysuria, frequent urination, and difficulty urinating. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is often caused by acute pelvic inflammatory disease that has not been thoroughly treated. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is often stubborn and often forms adhesion masses in the fallopian tubes and ovaries, which are adhered to the surrounding areas. Anti-inflammatory drugs are not easy to enter, and therefore, it is not easy to cure.

Because the nerves of the uterus and its appendages come from the ovarian sympathetic plexus and the parasympathetic pelvic visceral nerves in the abdomen, they originate from the sacral 2 and 4 nerves. Therefore, when diseases occur in these organs (such as pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, etc.) and affect these nerves, it can reflexively cause the so-called "low back and leg pain." However, the pain is mostly in the lumbar region, and there are generally no lower limb symptoms.

Mental stress, fatigue, and improper exercise can often cause "occasionally a few times of pain in the inner thigh, but it is very short-lived." If you are worried, it is recommended that you go to the orthopedics department of a regular hospital, conduct physical examinations, take X-rays and other tests to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment to avoid delays.

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can be cured as long as treatment is persisted. The first step in treating pelvic inflammatory disease is to choose appropriate antibiotics and treat the symptoms accordingly. In addition, physical therapy, such as shortwave, ultrashort wave, etc., can be added to promote the absorption and disappearance of inflammation. During treatment, patients should also ensure adequate nutrition, strengthen physical exercise, and balance work and rest to enhance the body's resistance and promote improvement of the condition.

When pelvic inflammatory disease is severe, it will cause symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and increased leucorrhea, which not only harms women's physical health, but also brings psychological shadows. Therefore, we must treat this disease in time, pay attention to personal hygiene in life, strictly prohibit sexual intercourse during menstruation, and pay attention to nutritional supplements. These can play a good auxiliary role in the treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease!
