- PID is an infection of the pelvic organs thus all the prescription medicine should be taken as instructed to complete the treatment. Even if all the symptoms have subsided, do not discontinue the medication without the doctors orders as incomplete treatment may cause the infection to recur or develop drug resistance.
- To prevent repeated infection, urinate after sexual intercourse, practice good perineal hygiene, and always wipe from front to rear. Wear underwear made of cotton or breathable material. Minimize baths or hot tubs and avoid vaginal douching.
- Take plenty of rest during acute infection.
- Take medicine as prescribed, and follow up as scheduled.
- In case of fever or severe abdominal pain, return to the hospital as soon as possible.
