Nursing measures for pelvic inflammatory disease

What are the care measures and prevention methods for pelvic inflammatory disease?

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.

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.
