What are the symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease

After women suffer from chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, they often show certain symptoms. The most common one is chronic pelvic pain, which can cause congestion and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen. They often have symptoms of back pain and leg pain. In addition, the pain will worsen after sexual intercourse and after menstruation. It often causes some systemic symptoms, such as fatigue, low fever, etc.

Gynecologists point out that pelvic inflammatory disease refers to inflammation of the female upper reproductive tract and its surrounding tissues, mainly including endometritis, salpingitis, tubo-ovarian abscess, and pelvic peritonitis. Inflammation can be limited to one part or affect several parts at the same time. The most common ones are salpingitis and salpingo-oophoritis. Pelvic inflammatory disease mostly occurs in sexually active, menstruating women. It rarely occurs in women before menarche, after menopause or unmarried people. If pelvic inflammatory disease occurs, it is often the spread of inflammation to adjacent organs. According to its disease course and clinical manifestations, it can be divided into acute and chronic. Gynecologists have made the following introduction on the common symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease in women.

Chronic pelvic pain: Chronic inflammation causes scar adhesions and pelvic congestion. Symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease include lower abdominal distension, pain, and lumbar and sacral pain, which are often aggravated by fatigue, after intercourse, and before and after menstruation.

Menstrual abnormalities are also one of the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease: endometritis often causes irregular menstruation; pelvic congestion can cause increased menstrual flow; and ovarian dysfunction can cause menstrual disorders.

Systemic symptoms: Mostly not obvious, sometimes only low fever and easy fatigue. Due to the long course of the disease, some patients may develop symptoms of neurasthenia, such as lack of energy, general discomfort, insomnia, etc. When the patient's resistance is poor, acute or subacute attacks are prone to occur.

Symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease include infertility and ectopic pregnancy: adhesion and obstruction of the fallopian tubes can cause infertility and ectopic pregnancy. The incidence of infertility after acute pelvic inflammatory disease is 20% to 30%.
