How to detect female pelvic peritonitis

What tests should be done for pelvic peritonitis? Pelvic peritonitis is a common disease currently. Pelvic peritonitis refers to the inflammation of the female pelvic reproductive organs, the connective tissue around the uterus and the pelvic peritoneum. Chronic pelvic peritonitis is often caused by incomplete treatment of the acute phase. Because of its long onset and stubborn condition, bacteria in the vulva can retrogradely infect and reach the pelvic cavity through the uterus and fallopian tubes. The following editor will introduce what tests should be done for pelvic peritonitis?

1. Ultrasound examination: For masses suspected of being abscesses, ultrasound examination can reveal multiple echo areas in the mass, indicating that there is liquid (pus) in the mass. This method is non-invasive, simple and easy to perform, and has high reliability.

2. Radioisotope scanning In recent years, some people have used leukocytes labeled with gallium-67 or indium-111 for scanning to diagnose abdominal abscesses, achieving a relatively high accuracy rate. The accuracy rate can be higher when using indium-111 for scanning. However, it is still rarely used clinically.

3. Computed tomography (CT) is a method that can diagnose abdominal abscesses with 100% accuracy. However, this method is expensive and is not widely used at present.
