Can pelvic inflammatory disease cause ectopic pregnancy in women?

Can you get pregnant if you have pelvic inflammatory disease? How can you treat pelvic inflammatory disease? Pelvic inflammatory disease mostly occurs in women who are sexually active and menstruating. It rarely occurs in women before menarche, after menopause or unmarried women. If it occurs, it is often the spread of inflammation in adjacent organs.

The following consequences usually occur after the disease occurs:

Menstrual disorders: In the early stage, there may be menorrhagia due to endometrial congestion and ulceration. Most patients have been ill for a long time when they seek treatment, and the endometrium has been damaged to varying degrees, which manifests as scanty menstruation or amenorrhea.

Infertility: Due to the destruction and adhesion of the fallopian tube mucosa, the lumen is often blocked; or due to adhesions around the fallopian tube, the lumen sometimes remains partially unobstructed. However, the mucosal cilia are destroyed, the fallopian tube is stiff, the peristalsis is restricted, and the transport function is lost, and conception cannot occur, so most patients are infertile.

Ectopic pregnancy: Because the combination of sperm and egg requires a very complicated process, sperm needs to go through layers of screening to reach the uterus. No matter if there is a problem in any link, it will have an obstructive effect. If the implantation position is wrong, it will also lead to ectopic pregnancy.

Sepsis and septicemia: Patients with septicemia often have chills, high fever, fast and weak pulse, multiple bleeding spots on the skin and mucous membranes, splenomegaly, and in severe cases, unconsciousness or even coma. Septicemia is when purulent bacteria enter the blood and circulate in the blood, causing secondary abscesses in other parts of the body.

Septic shock: In cases of severe infection, pathogens multiply rapidly in the body. These bacteria secrete large amounts of endotoxins, which circulate throughout the body with the blood and quickly cause the body to react. This is also one of the causes of acute septic shock.
