​My stomach and waist hurt, what's going on?

Many times we know the reason for our stomachache. Most of the time, it is caused by eating bad food. But why is it that the stomachache is accompanied by back pain? If the patient is a female, it is most likely caused by pelvic inflammatory disease. Let us take a look at the specific symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease to make a preliminary judgment on whether we have pelvic inflammatory disease.

1. What are the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease?

Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease are prone to fatigue. Scar adhesions and pelvic congestion caused by chronic inflammation can cause lower abdominal distension, pain, and lumbar pain, which often worsen after fatigue, sexual intercourse, and before and after menstruation. Clinically, pelvic inflammatory disease is divided into acute and chronic types. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is often caused by incomplete treatment of the acute phase.

1. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease is characterized by a history of acute infection, dull pain in the lower abdomen, muscle tension, tenderness and rebound pain, accompanied by rapid heart rate, fever, and a large amount of purulent secretions in the vagina.
