What are the symptoms of vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease

Vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease are both relatively common gynecological diseases. Some patients tend to confuse the two diseases, especially in terms of symptoms. The two diseases also have certain similarities. For example, both are prone to urinary system symptoms. Of course, there are differences between the two diseases. It is necessary to go to the hospital in time for a good diagnosis and examination, determine the cause of the disease, and then receive regular treatment.

Common types of pelvic inflammatory disease are acute and chronic. In acute pelvic inflammatory disease, female patients generally experience abdominal discomfort, lower abdominal distension and pain, loss of appetite, vomiting, back pain, abnormal leucorrhea, etc. The onset is rapid and the symptoms are relatively obvious. The initial symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease are not obvious and are easily ignored. Patients feel general weakness, insomnia, mental depression, and lower abdominal pain after sexual intercourse.

There are many types of vaginitis, which can easily confuse people. In the early stages of vaginitis, most women will experience itching and a burning sensation due to external factors, as well as increased vaginal secretions with an unpleasant odor and a foul smell. There were also abnormalities in the leucorrhea, and the amount of leucorrhea increased a lot compared to before. The leucorrhea appears to be dregs or yellow and sticky. In severe cases, there may also be lower abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding.

If pelvic inflammatory disease and vaginitis are not treated in time, it will cause great harm to women. If the inflammation is not controlled in time, it will spread upward and induce lesions in adjacent organs. Pelvic inflammatory disease and vaginitis are both gynecological inflammations but they are treated differently. If you suffer from gynecological inflammation, you should pay attention to hygiene in your daily life, especially changing and washing your underwear frequently, keeping the vulva clean and dry. During the treatment period, you should refrain from having sex to avoid cross infection between husband and wife.

Warm reminder: The above is the introduction to "What are the differences between pelvic inflammatory disease and vaginitis?" I hope it will be helpful to female friends. If any abnormality occurs in private parts of your life, you should go to a regular hospital for examination and symptomatic medication treatment to avoid blindly taking medication, which may lead to worsening of the condition and endanger your health.
