Pelvic Infection | Women Health Specialist Jaipur - Dr. Radhika Bansal

Pelvic infection, medically called pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), is a common reproductive health problem faced by many women. If left untreated, PID can lead to infertility, ectopic pregnancy and chronic pelvic pain.

 

Dr. Radhika Bansal, a trusted women health specialist in Jaipur, stresses the importance of early diagnosis and personalised care for effective management and prevention of pelvic infections.

 

What is pelvic infection?

Pelvic inflammatory disease is an infection of a woman's reproductive organs - such as the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. It usually occurs when sexually transmitted disease-causing bacteria move from the lower reproductive tract to the upper reproductive tract.

 

Common causes of pelvic infections

·       Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as chlamydia or gonorrhoea

·       Unprotected intercourse

·       Having more than one sexual partner

·       Infection after delivery or abortion

·       Use of intrauterine devices (IUDs)

·       Poor vaginal hygiene or douching

 

Symptoms

Pelvic infections can start out mild and rapidly turn severe. Look out for:

 

·       Pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis

·       Abnormal vaginal discharge with an unpleasant odour

·       Pain during intercourse

·       Irregular menstrual periods or spotting

·       Fever or chills

·       Burning while urinating

 

Dr Bansal, a leading women’s health expert in Jaipur, explains that some women may not have any obvious symptoms, making regular checkups important.

 

How is PID diagnosed?

 

If symptoms appear – immediate consultation is recommended. Diagnosis usually includes:

·       Detailed medical history and pelvic examination

·       Swab tests for bacterial infections

·       Ultrasound imaging

·       Blood or urine tests

 

Available treatment options

Dr. Radhika Bansal offers personalized and compassionate treatment, such as:

·       A course of oral or intravenous antibiotics

·       Hospital care in severe cases

·       Partner treatment to prevent re-infection

·       Follow-up tests to ensure the infection has completely healed
