There are 7 things you should pay attention to when preventing pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease is common in gynecology, and the treatment is mainly based on the use of antibiotics. For patients, it is important to recuperate and pay attention to bed rest. For patients with acute pelvic inflammatory disease, the semi-recumbent position is the best position, because it can make the pus accumulate locally and help the condition improve. Strengthening nutrition and timely replenishment of fluids are equally important. For some patients with more serious conditions, the pelvic abscess still worsens after treatment, or the abscess ruptures, or the mass does not disappear after treatment but has become localized. At this time, the patient may need surgical treatment. The treatment of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is mainly based on traditional Chinese medicine, and physical therapy can also be used. If there is a pelvic mass or a small infection that repeatedly causes inflammation, the patient also needs surgical treatment.

In addition, the prevention and care measures that should be paid attention to are:

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene: wash the vulva frequently, change underwear frequently, do not wear tight pants, do not wear synthetic underwear. Do not wash the vagina with your hands or wash the vulva with soap.

2. Sexual intercourse, swimming and bathing are prohibited when there is vaginal bleeding, such as during menstruation, after abortion, after IUD removal or other gynecological surgery.

3. Patients with acute pelvic inflammatory disease should rest in bed or take a semi-recumbent position to facilitate localization of inflammation and discharge of secretions. During treatment, they should combine work and rest to avoid excessive fatigue that may aggravate the condition.

4. 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 body fluid damage can be given pear juice, apple juice, watermelon juice, etc., but they should not be drunk after being chilled. Avoid eating fried, greasy, or spicy food.

5. During the treatment period, patients with pelvic inflammatory disease should observe the shape of their stools. If there is pus in the stool or a feeling of urgency, they should go to the hospital immediately to prevent pelvic abscesses from rupturing the intestinal wall and causing acute peritonitis. 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 there is 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 more to less, and the taste tends to be normal (slightly sour), it means that the condition is getting better.

6. Do not abuse antibiotics privately. Long-term use will cause vaginal flora disorder. You should follow the doctor's advice for systematic and regular treatment.

7. Contraception should be done well, because if the abortion is not disinfected strictly, pathogenic bacteria may invade.
