Why do you get pelvic inflammatory disease?

Why does pelvic inflammatory disease occur?

Pelvic inflammatory disease actually refers to inflammation of the female upper reproductive tract and its surrounding tissues, mainly including endometritis, salpingitis, tubo-ovarian abscess, pelvic peritonitis, etc. In addition, if there is inflammation, it is not limited to one part, but often involves several parts, and often occurs during sexual activity.

Causes of pelvic inflammatory disease:

1. Postpartum or post-abortion infection: If a woman has experienced a miscarriage or postpartum, her body is in a weak state, especially after the cervix dilates but does not close, the vagina and cervix of the woman are prone to bacterial infection. At this time, the bacteria may infect the pelvic cavity, causing women to suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease.

2. Spread of inflammation to adjacent organs: If a woman suffers from diseases such as appendicitis and peritonitis in her life, if she is not treated at this time, the problem is that the female reproductive organs will be infected. As the inflammation spreads, if it spreads to the female pelvic area, it will cause female pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Infection after gynecological surgery: For example, women may have experienced artificial abortion, IUD placement or removal, tubal intubation, hysterosalpingography, etc. If such surgery is not properly disinfected and hygiene is not paid attention to after surgery, pelvic inflammatory disease will occur.

4. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation: During menstruation, in fact, women's body resistance is relatively weak. At this time, if women do not develop good hygiene habits, or use unqualified sanitary napkins or toilet paper, and have sexual intercourse, they are prone to bacterial infection and cause pelvic inflammation.

If women are attacked by pelvic inflammatory disease in their daily life, it is actually nothing more than the reasons introduced above, that is, if bacteria invade the female pelvic cavity when the female body's resistance is weak, it will cause female pelvic inflammatory disease. It is recommended that women enhance their resistance in life.
