What to do if you have pelvic inflammatory disease and lower abdominal pain? Choose local hot compress

If you have severe lower abdominal pain due to pelvic inflammatory disease, you can first choose to apply local hot compresses or take painkillers to relieve the pain. In severe cases, you can also choose intravenous antibiotics, or choose a combination of drug therapy and physical therapy to relieve the various symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease.

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease. It is mostly caused by the patient's lack of self-hygiene, which leads to a decrease in body resistance. Bacteria take the opportunity to invade the reproductive organs and the uterus, causing acute inflammation. The main symptom of pelvic inflammatory disease is lower abdominal pain, and the degree of lower abdominal pain varies from patient to patient. So, what should I do if I have lower abdominal pain due to pelvic inflammatory disease?
1. Local hot compress <br/>Pelvic inflammatory disease is a local inflammation, which can be divided into acute pelvic inflammatory disease and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease is mainly characterized by lower abdominal pain during the attack period. If the patient feels persistent pain in the lower abdomen, you may choose to use local hot compress to treat it. Use a hot water bag to heat the lower abdomen to accelerate local blood circulation and improve the symptoms of abdominal pain.
2. Oral medication <br/>When the symptoms of lower abdominal pain do not improve after hot compress, you can take analgesic drugs to relieve the pain. However, when taking analgesics, be careful to avoid drugs containing hormones. Although hormone drugs have a more definite effect, the side effects are more serious, so choose carefully.
3. Intravenous infusion <br/>If you feel pain in the lower abdomen and vaginal discharge increases gradually, you need to do endocrine bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test to determine the specific cause of infection and choose antibiotics with strong sensitivity for intravenous infusion. Generally speaking, the symptoms can be significantly relieved after seven to ten days of continuous infusion.
4. Physical therapy <br/>Physical therapy is also a good method. If you miss the best time for treatment and general drug treatment is ineffective, you can choose physical therapy. However, the effect of physical therapy alone is not certain. You can choose a combination of drug therapy and physical therapy to promote inflammation absorption, accelerate local blood circulation, reduce local tissue adhesions, and relieve abdominal pain and other discomfort symptoms.
Although pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological inflammation, if the disease is allowed to develop, it may induce other gynecological inflammations and may even cause infertility in women in severe cases. Therefore, once you suffer from this disease, you must take timely measures to carry out systematic treatment to minimize its harmfulness.
