The female reproductive system is very delicate, and if not taken care of regularly, it may trigger a series of inflammatory reactions. For example, pelvic inflammatory disease is a very common gynecological disease. When going to the hospital for treatment, doctors will also require some examination items to have a more detailed understanding of the condition. What is the diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease based on routine vaginal discharge?
When diagnosing pelvic inflammatory disease, routine vaginal discharge examination is indeed necessary, but relying solely on the results of routine vaginal discharge examination cannot make a diagnosis. Because the main purpose of routine vaginal discharge testing is to assess the cleanliness of the vagina and identify which pathogenic bacteria are causing inflammation, it cannot directly reflect whether there is inflammation in the pelvic cavity. If you want to know if there is inflammation in the pelvic cavity, it is recommended to have an ultrasound examination.
In addition, clinical symptoms can also assist in determining whether pelvic inflammatory disease is present. After pelvic inflammation occurs, there will be symptoms of lower abdominal distension. Severe inflammation may cause pain, accompanied by lower back pain, which will worsen after sexual activity or before menstruation.
Some women have a long course of illness and may also experience mental symptoms such as lack of energy and insomnia. If it is acute pelvic inflammatory disease, the abdominal pain will be more severe, vaginal secretions will increase, and symptoms such as fever and chills may also occur. Once diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease through examination, timely treatment is necessary.
