Pelvic inflammation is a group of diseases in the pelvis, including pelvic peritonitis, endometritis, and tubal inflammation. There are no symptoms or just pain in the lower abdomen and increased vaginal discharge in mild cases. In severe cases, they may be accompanied by urinary symptoms or fever. When symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease are present, a diagnosis should be made in the hospital. Once diagnosed, treatment is based on antibiotics, and the antibiotics should be used in sufficient quantity and the entire course without interruption.

 

For the treatment of acute pelvic inflammatory disease, the incidence of sequelae increases with untimely therapy because of the variety of pathogenic bacteria in pelvic inflammatory disease. The treatment of acute pelvic inflammatory disease is based on broad-spectrum antibiotics and a combination of drugs, administered within 48 hours and individualized according to the condition and drug sensitivity. Outpatient treatment can be chosen for mild cases. Those with severe diseases need to be treated in hospitals. Surgical treatment may be required for inflammatory masses that are not satisfactorily treated with antibiotics.
