I believe everyone knows how much harm pelvic inflammatory disease brings to our health, so we must do our best to prevent pelvic inflammatory disease . What are the key points to prevent pelvic inflammatory disease? Let's take a look at the prevention of pelvic inflammatory disease.

1. Eliminate all routes of infection. To prevent pelvic inflammatory disease, keep the genitals clean and dry. Wash the vulva with clean water every night. Do not use your hands to wash the vagina, and do not use hot water or soap to wash the vulva. During pelvic inflammatory disease, the amount of leucorrhea is large and sticky, so change your 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 inflammatory disease 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. For the prevention of pelvic inflammatory disease, patients should not be too tired, and should combine work and rest, and moderate sexual intercourse to avoid worsening symptoms.

4. Fever patients usually sweat more when the fever subsides. To prevent pelvic inflammatory disease, you 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 inflammatory disease 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 inflammatory disease 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 inflammatory disease 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 lower abdominal cold pain, 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 five-heart heat 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 inflammatory disease and abdominal masses can be 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.
