How can pelvic inflammatory disease be detected? 5 methods to help diagnose pelvic inflammatory disease

Osteoarthritis is a familiar gynecological disease with a high probability of illness. After discovering physical abnormalities, we must take it seriously, especially by immediately conducting reasonable examinations.

Symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease

1. Lower abdominal falling pain: Chronic inflammation caused by scar adhesion and pelvic congestion often causes lower abdominal falling, pain, and lumbosacral pain. Often worsens after fatigue, sexual intercourse, and before and after menstruation.

2. Menstrual disorders: early endometrial congestion and ulcers, excessive menstruation. Many patients suffer from long-term illness during medical treatment, resulting in varying degrees of damage to the endometrium and reduced or amenorrhea.

3. Infertility: Due to the destruction and adhesion of the fallopian tube mucosa, blockage of the lumen or adhesion around the fallopian tube, the lumen sometimes remains partially unobstructed. However, mucosal cilia are damaged, the fallopian tubes become stiff, peristalsis is restricted, transportation function is lost, pregnancy is not possible, and most patients are infertile.

4. Lumbosacral pain: Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease has a slow onset, with low fever throughout the body, weakness in limbs, and susceptibility to fatigue. Some patients may experience neurasthenia due to prolonged replacement, leading to physical abnormalities such as insomnia, lethargy, lower abdominal distension, and lumbosacral pain.

5. Systemic symptoms: The symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease are often not obvious, sometimes only with low fever and easy fatigue. Due to the long duration of the disease, some patients may experience symptoms of neurasthenia such as low spirits, physical discomfort, and insomnia. When patients have poor resistance, they are prone to acute or subacute attacks.
