How to care for acute pelvic peritonitis

Many female friends do not pay attention to their own physical health, so they do not pay attention to their personal hygiene in daily life. This causes female friends to suffer from pelvic peritonitis unknowingly, thus affecting their physical health. If the patient wants to avoid the recurrence of this disease after recovery, then he must do a good job of nursing for this disease.

(1) Eliminate all routes of infection, keep the perineum clean and dry, wash the vulva with clean water every night, and use a dedicated basin for each person. Do not use your hands to wash the vagina, and do not use hot water or soap to wash the vulva. In pelvic peritonitis, there is a lot of leucorrhea, which is thick and sticky, so change underwear frequently and do not wear tight or synthetic underwear.

(2) If there is vaginal bleeding during menstruation, after abortion, or after gynecological surgery such as IUD insertion or removal, you must refrain from sexual intercourse, swimming, tub bathing, or sauna bathing. You must change sanitary napkins frequently. This will reduce the body's resistance and make it easier for pathogens to enter the body, causing infection.

(3) Patients diagnosed with acute or subacute pelvic peritonitis must follow the doctor's advice and actively cooperate with treatment. Patients should rest in bed or take a semi-recumbent position to facilitate localization of inflammation and discharge of secretions. Patients with chronic pelvic peritonitis should not overwork, but should combine work and rest and moderate sexual intercourse to avoid worsening symptoms.

(4) Fever patients usually sweat a lot when the fever subsides. They should pay attention to keeping warm and dry. Change clothes when sweating and avoid using air conditioning or direct convection wind.

(5) Pay attention to the amount, quality, color and taste of leucorrhea. If the amount of leucorrhea is large, the color is yellow and thick, and it has a foul odor, it means that the condition is serious. If the leucorrhea changes from yellow to white (or light yellow), the amount decreases, and the taste becomes normal (slightly sour), it means that the condition has improved.

(6) Patients with acute or subacute pelvic peritonitis should maintain smooth bowel movements and observe the characteristics of their stools. If pus is seen in the stool or there is a feeling of urgency and heaviness in the abdomen, they should go to the hospital immediately to prevent the pelvic abscess from rupturing the intestinal wall and causing acute peritonitis.

(7) Some patients, who suffer from chronic pelvic peritonitis, take antibiotics on their own when they feel a little uncomfortable. Long-term use may cause disturbance of vaginal flora, which may increase vaginal discharge and present as white dregs-like vaginal discharge. In this case, they should go to the hospital for treatment to rule out fungal vaginitis.
