What are the key points for diagnosing pelvic inflammatory disease?

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a relatively common gynecological disease. There are two types of pelvic inflammatory disease: acute and chronic. Many women are unaware of their acute pelvic inflammatory disease and do not receive timely treatment, which will turn into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, with repeated attacks, leading to infertility, tubal pregnancy, chronic pelvic pain, and seriously affecting women's health. So what are the key points for diagnosing pelvic inflammatory disease ?

The main points for diagnosing pelvic inflammatory disease are:

1. Key points for the diagnosis of acute pelvic inflammatory disease : history of surgery that may cause cervical laceration, damage to the upper end of the vagina and the side wall of the uterus. The disease is accompanied by fever, headache, chills, and body temperature can reach above 38°C. Lower abdominal pain and radiating pain, lower abdominal mass and local compression and irritation symptoms, such as frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, diarrhea, and tenesmus. If the abscess ruptures and flows into the abdominal cavity, pelvic membrane inflammation may occur. In severe cases, systemic poisoning symptoms may occur. Gynecological examination shows obvious tenderness in the posterior fornix, tenderness in the cervix, tenderness or limited movement of the uterus, and a thickening and tenderness around the uterus. If an abscess is formed, a mass can be felt behind the uterus.

2. Key points for diagnosis of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease : Mild cases are often asymptomatic, while those with recurrent episodes may experience fatigue, general discomfort, lumbar and lower abdominal pain, and sexual intercourse pain. Gynecological examination shows that the bilateral uterosacral ligaments and main ligaments are thickened in a cord-like manner, with tenderness, bilateral parauterine tissue thickening, and a fixed uterus. In severe cases, a "frozen pelvis"-like change may occur.
