Acute pelvic inflammatory disease refers to inflammation of the pelvic reproductive system organs, connective tissue around the uterus, and pelvic peritoneum. Clinical symptoms often include high fever, pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region, and increased vaginal discharge. There are many causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease, mainly decreased body resistance after childbirth, abortion, or cesarean section, or poor disinfection of the cervix during surgery, followed by lack of attention to hygiene during menstruation, or sexual intercourse during menstruation, leading to various purulent bacterial infections, or inflammation of adjacent organs in the pelvic cavity that spreads to the fallopian tubes or ovaries.

If you want to know the treatment time of pelvic inflammatory disease, you must first understand the symptoms of acute pelvic inflammatory disease:

1. Blood picture: elevated white blood cell count.

2. Chills and high fever, body temperature is generally between 38 and 40 degrees Celsius.

3. Pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region, increased leucorrhea, purulent discharge and foul odor.

Acute pelvic inflammatory disease is generally treated with antibiotics, but patients should be reminded that they must take medication on time, persist in treatment and be completely cured. They should not stop taking medication just because there are no symptoms. Generally, they should check the antibiotics they have taken for two weeks after they are asymptomatic to prevent recurrence of inflammation and progression to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.
