What are the causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease?

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common and frequent gynecological disease among female friends. Many female friends suffer from acute pelvic inflammatory disease, but they don’t know much about it. Here is an introduction to the causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease. Pelvic inflammatory disease is divided into acute pelvic inflammatory disease and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease refers to acute inflammation of the female internal reproductive organs and the surrounding connective tissue and pelvic peritoneum.

1. Poor menstrual hygiene

During menstruation, the exfoliated surface of the endometrium has dilated sinuses and blood clots, which provide a good breeding environment for bacteria. If you do not pay attention to hygiene, use unclean menstrual pads, and have sexual intercourse during menstruation, pathogens can invade and cause inflammation.

2. Postpartum or post-abortion infection

After delivery, the mother is weak and the cervix is ​​not well closed. If the birth canal is damaged or there are residual placenta or fetal membranes during delivery, pathogens invade the cervix and easily cause infection. If the bleeding time is too long during abortion, or there is tissue remaining in the uterine cavity, or the surgical operation is not strictly aseptic, post-abortion infection can occur.

3. Postoperative infection after intracavitary surgery

Such as placement of intrauterine contraceptive device, curettage, fallopian tube ventilation, fallopian tube hysterography, laparoscopy, etc., due to lax surgical disinfection or improper selection of preoperative indications, the original chronic inflammation of the reproductive tract may be disturbed by the surgery and cause acute attack and spread.

4. Direct spread of inflammation in nearby organs

Such as appendicitis, peritonitis, etc.

Experts remind: If acute pelvic inflammatory disease is not treated in time, it will often turn from acute pelvic inflammatory disease to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, leading to infertility, which makes women regret it.
