What are the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease?

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease with symptoms including lower abdominal pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, menstrual disorders, compression symptoms and systemic symptoms.

1. Lower abdominal pain: This is one of the typical symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease. The pain is usually persistent and may worsen after strenuous exercise or sexual intercourse. At the same time, the patient may experience increased vaginal discharge, which may be accompanied by a peculiar smell.

2. Menstrual disorders: It is also a common manifestation of pelvic inflammatory disease, including irregular menstrual cycle, increased menstrual flow or prolonged menstrual period.

3. Compression symptoms: If the inflammatory stimulation leads to the formation of an abscess, a mass in the lower abdomen may also appear, compressing the bladder or rectum, causing symptoms such as difficulty urinating, frequent urination, urgency, or diarrhea.

4. Systemic symptoms: Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease may also experience systemic symptoms such as fever, chills, and headache.

During the treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease, patients need to pay special attention to rest and personal hygiene. Maintain good living habits and avoid overwork to avoid aggravating the condition. At the same time, the diet should be light and avoid irritating foods. During the treatment, sexual intercourse should also be avoided to avoid affecting the treatment effect or aggravating the condition.
