What are the diagnostic criteria for chronic pelvic inflammatory disease?

As we all know, women are a group that is prone to illness after all. Of course, they also have great harm. In fact, diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease can affect women's health. What is the diagnostic basis for chronic pelvic inflammatory disease that we should pay more attention to? Let's talk about it specifically:

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is often caused by long-term acute pelvic inflammatory disease that cannot be cured. It is often accompanied by many complications. There are many things to pay attention to in the diagnosis of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. The periphery is mainly limited to the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and pelvic connective tissue. The diagnostic basis of these three types of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is different.

1. Salpingitis: It is the most common type of pelvic inflammatory disease. The fallopian tube mucosa and stroma are destroyed by inflammation, leading to thickening and fibrosis of the fallopian tube, which then causes the ovaries and fallopian tubes to adhere to the surrounding organs, forming a hard fixed mass, which can be used as a diagnostic basis for chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.

2. Hydrosalpinx and tubo-ovarian cysts: After the fallopian tube becomes inflamed, the fimbria adheres and closes, and the tube wall exudes serous fluid, which is retained in the lumen to form hydrosalpinx. After the clear tubal pus is absorbed, hydrosalpinx can also form. If the ovary accumulates at the same time, tubo-ovarian cysts will form.

3. Chronic pelvic connective tissue inflammation: Inflammation most commonly occurs in the parauterine connective tissue and uterosacral ligament. The diagnostic criteria for this type of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease are mainly local tissue thickening, hardening, fan-shaped spread to the pelvic wall, and the uterus is fixed or pulled to the affected side.

After understanding the diagnostic basis of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, do we all know that in life, if you suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease, you should go to a gynecological hospital for a pelvic examination in time.
