Does pelvic inflammatory disease cause chest pain?

Pelvic inflammatory disease generally does not cause chest pain. Chest pain may be caused by hormone levels or breast diseases such as milk stasis, mastitis, lobular hyperplasia, and breast fibroadenoma.

Most women with pelvic inflammatory disease will experience lower abdominal pain, back pain, anal distension, increased vaginal discharge with a fishy odor. Women with severe cases may experience symptoms such as fever and general fatigue. They need to be treated with antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor, such as cefixime capsules, metronidazole tablets, ornidazole tablets, etc.

1. Influence of hormone levels: Under physiological conditions, chest pain is more common in the early stage of menstruation. At this time, the level of progesterone in the body is relatively high. Progesterone can promote the development of mammary gland ducts, thereby causing bleeding and breast pain. The symptoms of hormonal influence usually disappear after menstruation, and usually no special treatment is required.

2. Milk stasis: Pelvic inflammatory disease may occur in lactating women, and milk stasis may also cause chest pain. Symptoms can be improved by using a breast pump to drain the milk and applying local hot compresses.

3. Mastitis: Not paying attention to hygiene during sex can lead to bacterial infection on the nipple, which can also cause pain. In this case, you can apply erythromycin ointment, mupirocin ointment, etc. under the guidance of a doctor.

4. Lobular hyperplasia of the breast: irregular daily life, long-term depression, etc., may lead to excessive hyperplasia of the mammary lobules and breast pain. A breast examination at the hospital can reveal that the symptoms are not serious and do not require special treatment. You should develop good living habits and be cheerful.

5. Breast fibroadenoma: The cause of the disease is unclear. It may be related to infection, injury, endocrine hormone disorder, environmental factors, etc., which leads to cell proliferation in the breast, forming nodular masses and causing breast pain. If breast fibroadenoma is found, further color Doppler ultrasound and mammography examination are needed to determine the severity of the disease and decide on the next treatment plan, such as surgical treatment.

If you have pelvic inflammatory disease accompanied by serious diseases such as breast cancer, you may also experience chest pain. If the symptoms persist, it is recommended to seek medical attention for relevant examinations and treatment.
