The emergence of pelvic inflammatory disease has caused great distress to many female patients. Although it is a common gynecological inflammation, it also requires our attention and timely examination and diagnosis when abnormal conditions occur.
Type of pelvic inflammatory disease
1. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease: Its symptoms include lower abdominal pain, fever, and increased vaginal discharge. Abdominal pain is persistent and worsens after activity or sexual intercourse. If the condition is severe, patients with chills, high fever, headaches, and loss of appetite during holidays can increase their physiological capacity and extend their physiological days. Pelvic abscess caused by pelvic inflammatory disease can cause local compression symptoms. Pressing the bladder can cause frequent urination, painful urination, and difficulty urinating. Pressing the rectum can cause symptoms such as frequent bowel movements, inability to feel after defecation, diarrhea, and constipation. Further development of acute pelvic inflammatory disease can lead to diffuse peritonitis, sepsis, septic shock, and in severe cases, life-threatening.
2. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease: Acute pelvic inflammatory disease cannot be completely treated, or the patient's physical condition is poor and the disease course is delayed. The symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease are lower abdominal distension, pain, and lumbosacral pain, fatigue, deterioration after sexual intercourse, and before and after menstruation. Next is menstrual abnormalities, with irregular periods. Some women with a long course of illness may experience symptoms of neurasthenia such as low energy, overall discomfort, and insomnia. Often prolonged and recurrent, leading to infertility and tubal pregnancy, seriously affecting women's health.
Symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease
1. Lower abdominal pain: Chronic inflammation caused by scar adhesion and pelvic congestion often causes lower abdominal swelling, pain, and lumbosacral pain. It 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, the lumen is often obstructed; Or due to adhesion around the fallopian tubes, sometimes the lumen remains partially unobstructed. However, the mucosal cilia are damaged, the fallopian tubes become stiff, peristalsis is limited, their transport function is lost, and they cannot conceive. Therefore, the vast majority of patients are infertile.
4. Systemic symptoms: mostly inconspicuous, sometimes 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.
