Women’s stomach pains Beware of pelvic inflammatory disease

  Ms. Gao was very busy at work these months, sometimes she felt a bloated stomach, sometimes she also felt a vague pain in the lower abdomen, along with the feeling of anal swelling, she thought it was poor digestion, ate some digestive drugs, did not care too much. The doctor diagnosed it as a pelvic abscess, and after a few days of injections and no improvement, she underwent laparoscopic surgery. The doctor told her after the surgery that she had heavy pelvic inflammation, and that her fallopian tubes and ovaries were stuck together and had formed a tubo-ovarian abscess, which is a type of pelvic inflammatory disease, and that a lot of pus was sucked out of the affected area during the surgery. The woman was surprised: I usually pay special attention to cleanliness and hygiene, how could there be pus in my stomach?  Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to inflammation in and around the upper female reproductive tract, mainly endometritis, tubal inflammation, tubo-ovarian abscess, pelvic peritonitis, etc. Repeated attacks can cause adhesions to the fallopian tubes, ovaries, peritoneum, tubal blockage leading to infertility, ectopic pregnancy, chronic pelvic pain, etc., affecting physical and mental health and work. Most of them occur in women in their reproductive years, when the immunity of the organism decreases and when they are tired, the pathogen invades the vulva and vagina and spreads upward through the mucous membrane of the reproductive tract or through the lymphatic system and causes the disease. Recent history of uterine surgery such as curettage, frequent sexual intercourse, lower genital tract infections such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, menstrual intercourse, and frequent vaginal irrigation can cause the disease.  Prevention of pelvic inflammatory disease is important, advocating safe sex, reducing the occurrence of sexually transmitted diseases, timely treatment of lower genital tract inflammation, attention to sexual hygiene, and prohibition of sexual intercourse during menstruation. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. If drug treatment is ineffective, laparoscopic surgery can be performed in time to avoid abscess rupture.
