Prophylaxis
In order to prevent an inflammation in the abdomen some important things are needed. On the one hand, value should always be placed on correct intimate hygiene. Regular washing, especially during menstruation (menstrual bleeding) or in the puerperium, is very important, but soap-free washing lotions and no vaginal rinses or intimate sprays should be used. In addition, too frequent washing also destroys the vaginal flora and this can no longer ward off intruders well. On the other hand, the use of a condom during intercourse is also a preventive measure to prevent inflammation in the abdomen, as the use of a condom reduces the risk of infection with sexually transmitted diseases to almost zero.
Prognosis
The prognosis in case of an inflammation in the abdomen is usually very good. If the inflammation is treated consistently and correctly, both the vaginal inflammation and the various forms of uterine inflammation heal quickly and well. Inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries usually has a good prognosis with fast, intensive therapy, but it can more often lead to complications and an emergency (acute abdomen).
