Nursing methods for pelvic inflammatory disease

What are the care methods for pelvic inflammatory disease?

Nursing methods for pelvic inflammatory disease:

1. Pay attention to the quantity, quality, color and taste of leucorrhea. If the leucorrhea is large in quantity, thick in yellow, and has a foul odor, it indicates that the condition is serious. For example, if the leucorrhea changes from yellow to white or light yellow, the quantity changes from large to small, and the taste tends to be normal and slightly sour, it means that the condition has improved.

2 Patients diagnosed with acute or subacute pelvic inflammatory disease must follow the doctor's advice and actively cooperate with treatment. Patients must rest in bed or in a semi-recumbent position to limit the discharge of inflammation and secretions. Patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease should also not be too tired, do a combination of work and rest, and control sexual intercourse to avoid aggravating symptoms.

3. Eliminate all routes of infection, keep the perineum clean and dry, wash the vulva with clean water every night, and use a dedicated basin for each person. Do not use your hands to wash the vagina, nor use hot water or soap to wash the vulva. During pelvic inflammatory disease, there is a lot of leucorrhea, which is sticky, so change your underwear frequently and do not wear tight or synthetic underwear.

4 Fever patients generally sweat a lot when their fever subsides. They should pay attention to keeping warm and dry, change clothes and pants when sweating, and avoid air conditioning or direct convection wind.

5. Vaginal bleeding after gynecological surgery, such as menstruation, after abortion, and after inserting or removing the IUD. Activities, swimming, bathing, and sauna bathing must be prohibited, and sanitary napkins must be changed frequently. When the body's resistance is reduced, pathogenic bacteria can easily enter and cause infection.
