Can women with pelvic inflammatory disease take a bath?

We all know that women will develop some gynecological diseases when they reach a certain age. We need to pay more attention to gynecological diseases, because if our female inflammation is not treated, it will only get worse. For example, many people don’t care about pelvic inflammatory disease, but not treating it will have a great impact on the body. Now we all like to take a bath, so we want to know if we can take a bath if we have pelvic inflammatory disease? Let’s take a look together!

Women with gynecological diseases should try to avoid taking baths or sitting baths.

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease. It can be divided into acute and chronic types, with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease being the most common. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease may cause serious consequences such as diffuse peritonitis, sepsis and even septic shock. If not given timely and effective treatment, it can easily turn into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and affect women's physical and mental health. Pelvic inflammatory disease is mainly caused by postpartum or post-abortion infection, post-operative infection after intrauterine surgery, unhygienic menstruation, direct spread of inflammation of adjacent organs, and acute attacks of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.

Sexual activity is closely related to pelvic inflammatory disease. People who start sexual life too early (before 16 years old), people who have sexual life too frequently, and homosexuals and bisexuals are prone to pelvic inflammatory disease. In addition, if sexual relations are promiscuous, cross-infection can cause certain specific diseases to spread widely through sexual behavior, and the incidence of specific pelvic inflammatory disease (such as mycoplasma chlamydia pelvic inflammatory disease) caused by this is also relatively high.

Large-scale or long-term use of antibiotics, the use of corticosteroids and anti-metabolites, increased intensity of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, various gynecological surgeries and family planning surgeries (artificial abortion, mid-term induction of labor, IUD removal and sterilization) can all cause infections due to the patient's reduced defense ability.

It is reminded that strict aseptic operating procedures and rational use of drugs are very important to reduce nosocomial infections, but it is difficult for general gynecological clinics to meet this requirement. Therefore, female friends should go to a regular hospital for gynecological surgery.

After reading the above content, we have a new understanding of whether we can take a bath when we have pelvic inflammatory disease. Pelvic inflammatory disease is a type of gynecological inflammation. We need to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment, which will be beneficial to our health. Don’t think it doesn’t matter at ordinary times. We must pay attention to developing good living habits and pay attention to hygiene in life, so that we can have a healthy body.
