How to determine whether it is pelvic inflammatory disease

How to determine whether it is pelvic inflammatory disease?

Pelvic inflammatory disease can be diagnosed through physical examination, blood test, pelvic CT and other examinations.

1. Physical Examination:

If patients find abnormal vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain, or menstrual abnormalities in daily life, they can go to the hospital for a physical examination under the guidance of a gynecologist. The doctor will check whether the patient has lower abdominal tenderness, increased body temperature, etc. to determine the patient's condition.

2. Blood test:

Patients can also choose to have a blood test to check whether the white blood cell count classification, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and blood C-reactive protein value are abnormal to determine whether it is pelvic inflammation.

3. Pelvic CT:

Pelvic CT can display clearer images of pelvic organs, thereby identifying whether there are any abnormalities in the pelvis.

In addition to the above examination methods, diagnosis can also be made through laparoscopy, endometrial biopsy and other examinations. Pelvic inflammatory disease is a group of diseases caused by infection of the female upper reproductive tract. Pathogens include Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, etc. After the disease occurs, it will cause symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, abnormal menstruation, and vaginal bleeding. At this time, the patient can confirm the disease through the above examinations. If the patient is diagnosed through the above examinations, drugs such as ceftriaxone sodium, cefoxitin sodium, and metronidazole can be used according to the doctor's advice. If the drug treatment is not effective, surgical resection can also be chosen.
