In daily life, parents usually look down on the emotional and medical influence the pelvic inflammatory disease has on young females, based on the recent research of Health Center.

The pelvic inflammatory disease, an inflammation of the reproductive organs resulting from sexual transmitted diseases like chlamydia and gonorrhea, among others, affects more than 800,000 females in the United States each year, one in ten of whom develops infertility, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"With sexually transmitted diseases, teen girls often seek confidential care, assume full responsibility for their treatment and behavior and are expected to manage their own disease so it is their perceptions that should matter the most," says the leading investigator Maria Trent, a pediatrician and adolescent health specialist at Johns Hopkins Children's Center.

The research involved 134 young girls, ages 12 through 19, and 121 parents who had raised or were currently raising teens. Only a handful of participants reported ever having pelvic inflammatory disease, but a fifth of the teenagers and a quarter of the parents said they had been treated for a sexually transmitted infection, which can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease.

Researchers believe this is the first analysis of teenage perceptions related to the medical and emotional burdens of pelvic inflammatory disease and believe it offers valuable insights for health economists and health policy researchers who use such patient perceptions to calculate the medical and financial toll a disease takes on society and to allocate resources for prevention and treatment.

They traditionally have used adult patient data to estimate the burden of pelvic inflammatory disease on pediatric patients, but the gap between teen and parental perceptions revealed in the Hopkins study shows that the teen perspective may be greatly underestimated, according to the research.

The study shows that parents treated pelvic inflammatory disease and related complications as less burdensome than teens did and believed pelvic inflammatory disease affected teens less than teens themselves said it did. Teens were also more willing than parents to give up time from their lives in exchange for a pelvic-inflammatory-disease-free future.

As a consequence, based on the research, parents should not blame their kids at first when they know that their kids are sufferers with pelvic inflammatory disease, but encourage their kids to receive therapy and keep company with them during the therapy period.

Parents can give some advice about what kind of medicines the teens should choose, antibiotics or other medicines such as the Fuyan Pill and inform them to take medicine on time and persistently. What’s more, they should be with them and make their kids know that they can get through this challenge together. With strong self-confidence, diseases will not defeat you.
