Pelvic inflammatory disease can cause infertility in women, so it is recommended that female friends learn about pelvic inflammatory disease so that they can prevent it in their daily lives. Below we will give you some tips on the symptoms and precautions of pelvic inflammatory disease for your reference.

Symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease:

1. Discomfort symptoms: Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease will experience increased vaginal discharge, lower abdominal distension, low back pain, frequent urination, urgency and pain, and other symptoms of urination difficulties, which will seriously affect the patient's work and life. In severe cases, it may even affect the relationship between husband and wife and family harmony.

2. Aggravation of the condition: If acute pelvic inflammatory disease is not treated promptly and thoroughly, it may turn into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which increases the difficulty of treatment and brings greater psychological pressure to patients.

3. Impact on fertility: Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can cause adhesion of the inner mucosa of the fallopian tube due to inflammation, causing the lumen to narrow or become blocked. This will hinder the passage of eggs, sperm or fertilized eggs, leading to infertility. If chronic pelvic inflammation leads to blockage or stenosis of the fallopian tubes, the fertilized egg will not be able to enter the uterus smoothly, and will grow and develop in the fallopian tube, thus causing ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is an emergency and if surgery is not performed in time, it will endanger the patient's life.
