What are the prevention methods for pelvic peritonitis?

Pelvic peritonitis is a disease that causes great harm to our health. We all hope to effectively stay away from the harm of pelvic peritonitis. To prevent pelvic peritonitis, daily protective measures are inevitable. Let’s take a look at the preventive measures for pelvic peritonitis.

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. Patients diagnosed 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.

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. 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 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.

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 can cause vaginal flora disorder, which can increase vaginal secretions and appear as white bean curd-like leucorrhea. At this time, you should go to the hospital immediately to rule out fungal vaginitis.

8. Patients with pelvic peritonitis should pay attention to diet and nutrition. During the fever period, it is advisable to eat light and easily digestible food. Patients with high fever and loss of body fluid can be given pear juice, apple juice, watermelon juice, etc., but they should not be drunk after ice. Patients with yellow, heavy and thick leucorrhea are damp-heat syndrome, and should avoid fried, greasy and spicy food. Patients with cold pain in the lower abdomen, fear of cold, and back pain are cold-stagnation and qi-stagnation type, and can be given warm foods such as ginger soup, brown sugar water, and cinnamon meat. Those with fever in the five hearts and back pain are mostly kidney yin deficiency, and can eat meat and eggs, which are bloody and emotional products to nourish and strengthen.

9. Do a good job of contraception and minimize the trauma of artificial abortion. Strictly follow aseptic operation during the operation to avoid the invasion of pathogens.

10. Patients with chronic pelvic peritonitis and abdominal masses are treated with Chinese medicine retention enema, with very good results. It has the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, softening and dispersing nodules, clearing away heat and detoxifying, or warming the uterus and dispersing cold.
