How to do daily care for patients with pelvic peritonitis

We should pay attention to the disease of pelvic peritonitis. This disease has many complications, which can lead to kidney disease, female infertility, and physical discomfort. If the patient cannot receive reasonable treatment, abdominal pain will occur, which is very harmful to women. Therefore, women with pelvic peritonitis should pay attention to care methods in life.

1. Eliminate all routes of infection, keep the perineum clean and dry, wash the vulva with clean water every night, and use a dedicated basin for each person. Do not use your hands to wash the vagina, nor use hot water or soap to wash the vulva. In pelvic peritonitis, there is a lot of leucorrhea, which is thick and sticky, so change your underwear frequently and do not wear tight or synthetic underwear.

2. If there is vaginal bleeding during menstruation, after abortion, and after gynecological surgery such as insertion or removal of an IUD, you must refrain from sexual intercourse, swimming, taking a tub bath, or a sauna. You must change sanitary napkins frequently. This will reduce the body's resistance and make it easy for pathogens to enter the body, causing infection.

3. Patients diagnosed with acute or subacute pelvic peritonitis must follow the doctor's advice and actively cooperate with the treatment. Patients should rest in bed or take a semi-recumbent position to facilitate the localization of inflammation and the discharge of secretions. Patients with chronic pelvic peritonitis should not overwork, combine work and rest, and moderate sexual intercourse to avoid worsening symptoms.

4. Fever patients usually sweat a lot when the fever subsides. They should pay attention to keeping warm and keeping the body dry. Change clothes when sweating and avoid using air conditioning or direct convection wind.

5. Pay attention to the amount, quality, color and taste of leucorrhea. If the amount of leucorrhea is large, the color is yellow and thick, and it has a foul smell, it means that the condition is serious. If the leucorrhea changes from yellow to white (or light yellow), the amount changes from large to small, and the taste tends to be normal (slightly sour), it means that the condition has improved.

6. Patients with acute or subacute pelvic peritonitis should maintain smooth bowel movements and observe the characteristics of their stools. If pus is seen in the stool or there is a feeling of urgency and heaviness in the abdomen, they should go to the hospital immediately to prevent the pelvic abscess from rupturing the intestinal wall and causing acute peritonitis.
