What are the symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease?

The main symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease include chronic pelvic pain, menstrual disorders, systemic symptoms, back pain, infertility and ectopic pregnancy.

1. Chronic pelvic pain: Chronic inflammation forms scar adhesions and pelvic congestion, often causing lower abdominal swelling and lumbar pain. Fatigue, long-term standing, sexual intercourse and menstruation often aggravate the pain, which has a great impact on life and work.

2. Menstrual disorders: Endometritis often causes increased leucorrhea, menstrual disorders, blood volume, and dysmenorrhea; pelvic congestion can lead to increased menstrual volume; menstrual disorders may occur when ovarian function is impaired.

3. Systemic symptoms: Systemic symptoms are not obvious, sometimes only low fever and fatigue. Due to the long course of the disease, some patients are prone to neurasthenia symptoms, such as depression, general discomfort, insomnia and other abnormalities. When the patient's resistance is poor, acute or subacute attacks are prone to occur.

4. Back pain: Swelling will also occur below the buttocks, and back pain will occur, which will usually become more obvious after fatigue.

5. Infertility and ectopic pregnancy: Fallopian tube adhesions and blockages can lead to infertility and ectopic pregnancy. The incidence of infertility after acute pelvic inflammatory disease is 20% to 30%. As the disease progresses, the infertility rate is on the rise. Nowadays, infertility caused by chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is very common, so timely treatment is very important.

It is recommended that patients seek medical attention promptly if they feel unwell, and then cooperate with the doctor for targeted treatment.
