Causes of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease

Causes of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease:

The causes of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease are relatively complex. The most common of these is the delayed development of acute pelvic inflammatory disease into a chronic disease. In addition, miscarriage or postpartum infection, lack of attention to personal hygiene during menstruation, and secondary infection of pelvic organs are also important factors in chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and must be actively prevented to avoid damage to health.

1. Miscarriage or postpartum infection

After miscarriage or childbirth, women are in an extremely weak state, and their immunity is significantly reduced, making them more susceptible to diseases. Postpartum care should pay special attention to the personal hygiene of the mother to reduce the growth of bacteria. The open cervix has not yet closed after childbirth. If the mother is in a poor hygiene environment for a long time, bacteria will take the opportunity to enter the pelvic cavity through the cervix and cause infection.

2. Not paying attention to menstrual hygiene

Menstruation is a unique physiological cycle for women. The shed endometrium is discharged from the body through the cervix and vagina. This is also a period of vigorous bacterial reproduction. If personal hygiene is not done well or inferior sanitary napkins are used, the probability of bacterial infection will increase and cause pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Secondary infection

Other pelvic inflammatory diseases are caused by inflammation of other organs in the body. If the tissues and organs near the pelvic cavity are inflamed and not effectively controlled, bacteria will invade the pelvic cavity through direct transmission or blood and lymph circulation, causing pelvic inflammatory disease.

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease has a long course and is difficult to treat. Understanding its causes and targeted treatment and prevention can better prevent recurrence and improve treatment outcomes.
