What are the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease?

Pelvic inflammatory disease can be acute or chronic, and the symptoms of the two are slightly different. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease can cause systemic fever, lower abdominal pain that refuses to be pressed, but is also accompanied by a large amount of leucorrhea, which may be purulent in nature. Some systemic symptoms may also occur, such as general fatigue, back pain, and menstrual disorders. For patients with severe conditions, there may be obvious high fever, loss of appetite, chills, headaches, etc. Patients with peritonitis may also experience digestive system symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension.

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can also cause some abnormal symptoms. Although they are not as obvious as acute pelvic inflammatory disease, you can find them by careful observation. Generally, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can cause menstrual disorders, such as menorrhagia, oligomenorrhea, or amenorrhea. Due to the influence of pelvic inflammation and adhesions, it can also cause varying degrees of increased leucorrhea, waist and abdominal pain, or lower abdominal pain. If pelvic inflammation forms chronic adnexitis, it will come into contact with the mass. If it is not treated for a long time, it will also lead to infertility. Generally speaking, the systemic symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease are not obvious. Sometimes there will be symptoms such as fever, night sweats, fatigue, loss of appetite or weight loss. Some patients will have a fever during menstruation and are prone to fatigue. If the course of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is long, symptoms of neurasthenia may also occur.

The symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammation and acute pelvic inflammation are different. Women should usually pay attention to observation. Once symptoms of chronic or acute pelvic inflammation are found, timely examination and treatment should be carried out to prevent the disease from worsening and having a greater impact on their own health. Pelvic inflammation can be cured after treatment, and patients should pay attention to symptomatic treatment.
