Pelvic inflammatory disease in women can affect pregnancy, and in severe cases can cause infertility. Therefore, it is very important for women in their childbearing period, especially those who plan to become pregnant, to prevent pelvic inflammatory disease.

(2) Avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation.
(3) Actively prevent and treat sexually transmitted diseases.
(4) Use contraception regularly and do less or no artificial abortion.
(5) Women diagnosed with acute or subacute pelvic inflammatory disease must follow the doctor\’s advice and actively cooperate with treatment to avoid turning into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease should not work too hard, balance work with rest, and exercise moderation in sexual intercourse to avoid aggravation of symptoms.
Preventing Cystitis
Some women just wipe with dirty paper after defecation, and most of them wipe from back to front, which will cause Dirt, pollutants and feces are brought more or less near the urethral opening, and a large amount of E. coli in the feces reaches the bladder and causes inflammation.
There are also some women of childbearing age who are used to holding back their urine. In this way, the urine that the human body discharges into the bladder through the kidneys and ureters will remain in the bladder, causing the bladder wall to swell, which will stimulate the sensory nerve endings, causing urinary urgency, frequent urination, and even cystitis.
Some women often wear their underwear in front and back, which can easily cause cystitis. Because although you wipe with paper after defecation, it is impossible to wipe it clean. Occasionally, a small amount of feces remains around the anus and contaminates the underwear. If the underwear is taken off and put on again without paying attention to the front and back, the bacteria in the feces and Dirt can easily enter the urethra, grow and multiply, and can ascend to the bladder and cause cystitis.
The mechanism of cystitis is: the female urethra is shorter, and the urethral opening is closer to the vaginal opening and anus. Bacteria can easily enter the bladder and cause cystitis, and some may also affect the renal pelvis and cause pyelonephritis. Cystitis is easy to relapse, especially during pregnancy, when vaginal secretions increase, making it easier to relapse. People who have suffered from cystitis must go to the hospital for a check-up before pregnancy to confirm that they are cured before they can become pregnant.
The main symptoms of cystitis include frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, residual urine infection, etc. You should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
