What to do if you suffer from pelvic peritonitis for a long time

What should I do if I suffer from pelvic peritonitis for a long time? Pelvic peritonitis is a common gynecological inflammation among female friends, which seriously threatens the health of female friends. There are still many women who are not clear about how to treat pelvic peritonitis. Here we will introduce how to treat pelvic peritonitis.

Chronic pelvic peritonitis is often caused by incomplete treatment of the acute phase. Because of its long onset and stubborn condition, bacteria from the vulva can retrogradely infect and reach the pelvic cavity through the uterus and fallopian tubes. But in real life, not all women will suffer from pelvic peritonitis, only a few will. This is because the female reproductive system has a natural defense function, which can resist the invasion of bacteria under normal circumstances. Only when the body's resistance is reduced or the natural defense function of women is destroyed due to other reasons, will pelvic peritonitis occur. Patients with pelvic peritonitis are prone to fatigue. Scar adhesions and pelvic congestion caused by chronic inflammation can cause lower abdominal distension, pain, and soreness in the lumbar sacral region, which often worsens before and after fatigue, sexual intercourse, and menstruation.

Treatment of pelvic peritonitis should include the following:

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, the amount of leucorrhea is large and sticky, so change underwear frequently and do not wear tight or synthetic underwear.

2. If there is vaginal bleeding during menstruation, after abortion, and after gynecological surgery such as IUD insertion and removal, you must refrain from sexual intercourse, swimming, tub baths, and saunas. You must change sanitary napkins frequently. As this will reduce the body's resistance, pathogenic bacteria can easily take advantage of the opportunity to enter and cause infection.

3. 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 smell, it means that the condition is more serious. If the leucorrhea changes from yellow to white (or light yellow), the amount changes from large to small, and the taste tends to be normal (slightly sour), it means that the condition has improved.

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

5. 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.

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

7. Some patients suffer from chronic pelvic peritonitis and take antibiotics on their own when they feel a little uncomfortable. Long-term use can cause the vaginal flora to be disturbed, which can cause increased vaginal discharge and white bean curd-like leucorrhea. At this time, you should go to the hospital immediately to rule out fungal vaginitis.

Through the above introduction, we have a clear understanding of how to prevent pelvic peritonitis. Remind female friends that if the above symptoms occur, timely treatment can get rid of this disease.
