Hi,

As per your clinical history,there is nothing to be afraid of at all unless you have any discharge or pain. So follow few lifestyle modifications like this:

1) Try to practice safe sex. Use condoms every time you have sex.

2) Use of a birth control pill may offer some protection against the development of PID by causing your body to create thicker cervical mucus, making it more difficult for bacteria to reach your uterus, fallopian tubes or ovaries.

3) Get tested. If you're at risk of an STI, early treatment of an STI gives you the best chance of avoiding pelvic inflammatory disease. Request that your partner is tested.

4) Don't douche. Douching upsets the balance of bacteria in your vagina.

5) Pay attention to hygiene habits. Wipe from front to back after urinating or having a bowel movement to avoid introducing bacteria from your colon into the vagina.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
