What are the symptoms of acute pelvic inflammatory disease? Is low back pain pelvic inflammatory disease?

The fundamental difference between acute pelvic inflammatory disease and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is that the onset of the disease is rapid and the disease progresses rapidly. Understanding the symptoms of acute pelvic inflammatory disease is very helpful for the early treatment of the disease.

Acute pelvic inflammatory disease mainly has the following symptoms:

1. When the disease occurs, there is lower abdominal pain and fever. If the condition is serious, there may be chills, high fever, headache, and loss of appetite.

2. If the disease occurs during menstruation, there may be increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation. If the disease occurs during non-menstrual period, there may be increased leucorrhea. If there is peritonitis, there will be digestive system symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, diarrhea, etc.

3. If an abscess is formed, there may be a lower abdominal mass and local compression and irritation symptoms; if the mass is located in the front, bladder irritation symptoms may occur, such as difficulty urinating and frequent urination. If it causes cystomyositis, there may also be urinary pain. If the mass is located in the back, there may be rectal irritation symptoms. If it is outside the peritoneum, it may cause diarrhea, tenesmus and difficulty defecation.
