What are the causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease?

1. Postpartum or post-abortion infection

The patient is weak after childbirth or miscarriage, and the cervix has not closed well after dilation. At this time, the bacteria in the vagina and cervix may ascend and infect the pelvic cavity; if there is still placenta and fetal membranes in the uterine cavity, the chance of infection is greater. This is one of the causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease.

2. Infection after gynecological surgery

During artificial abortion, IUD insertion or removal, tubal intubation, salpingography, endometrial polyp removal, or submucosal uterine myomectomy, if the disinfection is not strict or there is chronic inflammation of the reproductive system, it is possible to cause postoperative infection. Some patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery, or do not follow the doctor's advice and have sexual intercourse, which can also cause bacteria to ascend and cause pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation

During menstruation, the endometrium is exfoliated, the blood sinuses in the uterine cavity are open, and blood clots exist, which are good conditions for the growth of bacteria. If you do not pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, use sanitary napkins or toilet paper that do not meet the hygiene standards, or have sex, it will provide bacteria with an opportunity for retrograde infection, which is also the cause of acute pelvic inflammatory disease.
