Can pelvic inflammatory disease be eradicated? During treatment, four precautions should be kept in mind
Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to an inflammatory disease in the pelvic cavity, where female patients generally experience abdominal pain and loss of appetite. For patients with pelvic inflammatory disease, the two most important concerns are whether the disease can be cured and the methods to control its progression. Let's analyze each one below.
Can pelvic inflammatory disease be eradicated?
1. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease
For female patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, if the disease is discovered earlier, it can be basically cured. This is because the spread rate of this pelvic inflammatory disease is very slow, and as long as it is detected in a timely manner, the inflammation can be slowly cleared.
2. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease
For patients with acute pelvic inflammatory disease, the disease deteriorates very quickly. As the disease gradually worsens, some complications will also occur one after another, such as sepsis. Under the combined effect of these complications, the probability of patients being cured will gradually decrease.
What should patients with pelvic inflammatory disease pay attention to?
1. Cannot go to public bathing and swimming places
For patients with pelvic inflammatory disease, what they are most afraid of is bacterial infection because once infection occurs, the rate of disease progression will double. Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease must be careful not to play with water in public bathing places, nor to swim by the beach or in public swimming places. Such places are cluttered with people and have a lot of bacteria.
2. Unable to have sex
The focus of this disease is in the uterine cavity, but female patients who have sex during this period have a high probability of infection. This is because the bottom of the female vagina is closely connected to the cervix, which is in an open state during female sexual activity, providing opportunities for bacterial invasion. Bacteria entering the uterine cavity through the vagina and cervical opening can have serious consequences.
3. Unable to use medication on their own
Many women choose to buy their own anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment after learning about the disease of pelvic inflammatory disease. However, female patients should be aware that not all inflammatory diseases are effective when using anti-inflammatory drugs. On the contrary, they may delay the optimal treatment time by taking medication without authorization.
4. Pay attention to personal hygiene
For patients with pelvic inflammatory disease, it is necessary to monitor their hygiene during menstruation. Additionally, when using sanitary napkins, replace them every 2 hours and remember that bacteria grow on the napkins. In addition, it is also necessary to purchase sanitary napkins from legitimate places.
