What precautions should patients with pelvic inflammatory disease take in their daily lives? Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to inflammation of the female upper reproductive tract and surrounding tissues. If pelvic inflammatory disease is not treated properly, it may cause other more serious complications. Therefore, it is very important to take good care of pelvic inflammatory disease. So what precautions should patients with pelvic inflammatory disease take in their daily lives? Let our experts introduce it to you in detail below.

Things to note for patients with pelvic inflammatory disease in daily life:

1. 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. Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease should pay attention to diet and nutrition. During the fever period, it is advisable to eat light and easy-to-digest food. Patients with high fever and body fluid damage can be given pear juice, apple juice, watermelon juice, etc., but they cannot be drunk after ice. Patients with yellow leucorrhea, large amount, and thick texture belong to damp-heat syndrome, and should avoid eating fried, grilled, greasy, and spicy foods. Patients with cold pain in the lower abdomen, fear of cold, and back pain belong to the cold stagnation and qi stagnation type. In terms of diet, they 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. They can eat meat, eggs, and other bloody and emotional products to nourish and strengthen. 3. Pay attention to the amount, quality, color, and taste of leucorrhea. Those with large amount of leucorrhea, yellow color, thick texture, and foul smell indicate 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 has improved.

4. If there is vaginal bleeding during menstruation, after abortion, and after gynecological surgery such as insertion or removal of an IUD, you must refrain from sexual intercourse, swimming, taking a tub bath, or a sauna. 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 the body and cause infection.

5. 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.

6. 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. Patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease should not be overworked, and should combine work and rest and moderate sexual intercourse to avoid worsening symptoms.
