What are the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease

If women are more careful in daily life, the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease are still very obvious. The symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease are mainly in the lower abdomen, with pain, swelling, muscle tension and increased body temperature. Pelvic inflammatory disease is also divided into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and acute pelvic inflammatory disease. Seek medical attention in a timely manner according to your condition and status. Let the doctor prescribe the right medicine based on your clinical manifestations and pay attention to the safety of medication.

Pelvic inflammatory disease may have different clinical manifestations depending on the severity and extent of the inflammation. In mild cases, there may be no obvious symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease, or gynecological examination may only reveal cervical lifting pain, uterine body tenderness or adnexal tenderness. In severe cases, the patient may have flushed face, fever, accelerated heart rate, tenderness and rebound pain in the lower abdomen, tense abdominal muscles, and even abdominal distension, weakened or disappeared bowel sounds, etc.

1. Acute pelvic inflammation

The symptoms are lower abdominal pain, fever, increased vaginal discharge, and persistent abdominal pain that worsens after activity or sexual intercourse. If the condition is severe, there may be chills, high fever, headache, and loss of appetite. Those who develop the disease during menstruation may experience increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual period. If pelvic inflammatory disease forms a pelvic abscess, it may cause local compression symptoms. Compression of the bladder may cause frequent urination, painful urination, and difficulty urinating; compression of the rectum may cause frequent urge to defecate and a feeling of incomplete defecation after defecation, as well as symptoms of diarrhea or constipation. Further development of acute pelvic inflammatory disease can cause diffuse peritonitis, sepsis, septic shock, and in severe cases can be life-threatening.

2. Chronic pelvic inflammation

It is caused by the failure to thoroughly treat acute pelvic inflammatory disease or the patient's poor physical condition and prolonged course of the disease. The symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease are lower abdominal distension, pain and lumbar and sacral soreness, which are often aggravated by fatigue, after sexual intercourse, and before and after menstruation. The second is abnormal menstruation and irregular menstruation. When the disease lasts for a long time, some women may experience symptoms of neurasthenia such as lack of energy, general discomfort, and insomnia. It often takes a long time to heal and recurs repeatedly, leading to infertility and fallopian tube pregnancy, seriously affecting women's health.
