Symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease. So for female friends, what are the typical symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease?

Symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease:

There are two types of pelvic inflammatory disease: acute and chronic. The main symptoms of acute pelvic inflammatory disease are lower abdominal pain, fever, increased vaginal discharge, and persistent abdominal pain that worsens after activity or sexual intercourse.

If the condition is serious, there may be chills, high fever, headache, and loss of appetite. Patients who develop the disease during menstruation may experience increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation. If pelvic inflammatory disease wraps around and forms a pelvic abscess, it may cause local compression symptoms. Compression of the bladder may cause frequent urination, painful urination, and dysuria; compression of the rectum may cause rectal symptoms such as tenesmus. Further development of acute pelvic inflammatory disease may cause diffuse peritonitis, sepsis, and septic shock, which may be life-threatening in severe cases.

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is caused by the failure to completely treat acute pelvic inflammatory disease or the poor physical condition of the patient, which leads to a prolonged course of the disease. The main symptoms are lower abdominal distension, pain and soreness at the bottom of the waist, which are often aggravated by fatigue, after sexual intercourse and before and after menstruation. The second is abnormal menstruation and irregular menstruation.

After a long course of illness, some women may experience neurasthenia symptoms such as lack of energy, general discomfort, insomnia, etc. Often, the disease is long-lasting and recurrent, leading to infertility and tubal pregnancy, seriously affecting women's health and increasing the economic burden on the family and society.
