How to tell if you have chronic pelvic inflammatory disease

How to determine whether you have chronic pelvic inflammatory disease?

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can be diagnosed through clinical symptoms, examination of vaginal and cervical secretions, and B-ultrasound examination.

1. Clinical symptoms:

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease often occurs in sexually active women who have children. After the disease occurs, the inflammation will continue to irritate the pelvic area, mainly manifesting as lower abdominal pain, swelling and other symptoms. As the disease progresses, it may also lead to clinical symptoms such as increased menstrual volume and prolonged menstrual duration.

2. Vaginal and cervical secretion examination:

You can also do vaginal and cervical secretion examinations under the guidance of a doctor. This method is to take vaginal and cervical secretions for laboratory culture. Through this method, we can preliminarily determine whether we have chronic pelvic inflammation.

3. B-ultrasound examination:

B-ultrasound examination is a common imaging examination. This method can clearly image the pelvic area and observe whether the size and shape of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries are abnormal. If you have chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, the local soft tissue will be significantly swollen. This examination can provide corresponding basis for the diagnosis and further treatment of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.
