Nursing measures for pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease is the most common disease in gynecological outpatient clinics, and it is also a gynecological inflammation that troubles many female friends. There are many methods to treat pelvic inflammatory disease. So what are the care measures and prevention methods for pelvic inflammatory disease?

1. Eliminate all routes of infection, keep the perineum clean and dry, wash the vulva with clean water every night, make a special basin, do not wash the vagina with your hands, and do not use hot water, soap, etc. to wash the vulva. During pelvic inflammatory disease, there is a lot of leucorrhea, which is sticky in texture. You should change your underwear frequently and do not wear tight synthetic underwear.

2. Vaginal bleeding after gynecological surgery, such as menstruation, after abortion, and after inserting or removing the IUD. Activities, swimming, bathing, and sauna bathing must be prohibited, and sanitary napkins must be changed frequently. When the body's resistance is reduced, pathogenic bacteria can easily enter and cause infection.

3 Patients diagnosed with acute or subacute pelvic inflammatory disease must follow the doctor's advice and actively cooperate with treatment. Patients must rest in bed or in a semi-recumbent position to limit the discharge of inflammation and secretions. Patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease should also not be too tired, do a combination of work and rest, and control sexual intercourse to avoid aggravating symptoms.

4 Fever patients generally sweat a lot when the fever subsides. They should pay attention to keeping warm and keeping the body dry. Change clothes when sweating and avoid using air conditioning or direct convection wind.

5. Pay attention to the quantity, quality, color and taste of leucorrhea. If the leucorrhea is large in quantity, thick in yellow, and has a foul odor, it indicates that the condition is serious. For example, if the leucorrhea changes from yellow to white or light yellow, the quantity changes from large to small, and the taste tends to be normal and slightly sour, it means that the condition has improved.

6. Patients with acute or subacute pelvic inflammatory disease should keep their bowels open and observe the nature of their stools. If you see pus or feel acute, go to the hospital immediately to prevent pelvic abscesses from rupturing the intestinal wall and causing acute peritonitis.

7. Some patients feel a little uncomfortable due to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, and take antibiotics by themselves. Long-term use may cause vaginal flora disorder, leading to increased vaginal secretions and bean dregs-like leucorrhea. At this time, you should go to the hospital immediately to eliminate fungal vaginitis.
