Can pelvic inflammatory disease cause ectopic pregnancy?

Pelvic inflammatory disease can be divided into acute pelvic inflammatory disease and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease generally develops quickly and has obvious symptoms, while chronic pelvic inflammatory disease has no symptoms in the early stage and is difficult to detect. However, both chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and acute pelvic inflammatory disease cause great harm to women. Can pelvic inflammatory disease cause ectopic pregnancy?

The pelvic cavity is where the female internal reproductive organs gather. It is extremely susceptible to bacterial infection and pelvic inflammatory disease. Pelvic inflammatory disease is a general term for inflammation of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and surrounding connective tissue. Common symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain, frequent and urgent urination, chills and fever, etc. Pelvic inflammatory disease is divided into acute and chronic. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is more harmful. Once women have sexual life, the chance of infection will increase greatly, and they are more likely to suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease.

Women with pelvic inflammatory disease usually get worse after fatigue, sexual intercourse, before and during menstruation. The systemic symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease are not very obvious, and the systemic symptoms of patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease are mostly not obvious, sometimes with low fever, fatigue, increased leucorrhea, irregular menstruation, etc. Some patients also have symptoms of neurasthenia.

Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to inflammation of the female pelvic reproductive organs, the connective tissue around the uterus, and the pelvic peritoneum. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is often caused by incomplete treatment of the acute phase. Because it takes a long time to develop and the condition is stubborn, bacteria from the vulva can retrogradely infect and reach the pelvic cavity through the uterus and fallopian tubes. In general, the symptoms of women with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease are not very obvious, so they cannot be discovered in time. If pelvic inflammatory disease is not treated in time, it can easily lead to ectopic pregnancy.
