With the advancement of medical technology, there are still many clinical examination and diagnosis methods for acute pelvic inflammatory disease, which is of great significance for early detection of acute pelvic inflammatory disease . In view of this, the following will tell you about the common examination and diagnosis methods for acute pelvic inflammatory disease.

In general, the common examination and diagnosis methods for acute pelvic inflammatory disease are:

1. Ultrasound examination

This diagnostic test for acute pelvic inflammatory disease is 90 percent accurate in identifying masses or abscesses formed by adhesions of the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and intestines through B-mode or ultrasound scans and radiographs. However, mild or moderate acute pelvic inflammatory disease is difficult to show characteristics in images.

2. Direct smear of secretions

The doctor will take samples of vaginal, cervical canal secretions, urethral secretions, or peritoneal fluid for direct thin-layer smear, and then stain with methylene blue or Gram's stain after drying. This is one of the common examination and diagnosis methods for acute pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Pathogen culture

It is also a common diagnostic test for acute pelvic inflammatory disease. The doctor should decide based on the individual's situation. The new relatively rapid chlamydial enzyme assay has replaced the traditional chlamydia detection method, which mainly detects Chlamydia trachomatis antigens in mammalian cell culture. This method is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

4. Laparoscopy

Laparoscopic examination can be performed on patients with acute pelvic inflammatory disease or suspected acute pelvic inflammatory disease and other acute abdominal diseases. Laparoscopic examination can not only make a clear diagnosis and differential diagnosis, but also make a preliminary diagnosis of the degree of lesions in acute pelvic inflammatory disease.
