However, the vast majority of pelvic inflammation is caused by vaginal pathogens that rise along the mucosal surface to the pelvic organs. After pelvic inflammatory disease, if the fallopian tubes are also affected, salpingitis, it is easy to cause adhesions in the tubal cavity. If the fallopian tube cavity is completely blocked, it will affect the fertilization of the egg and the delivery of the gestational egg, which can cause infertility. If the inflammation is limited to the pelvic connective tissue and the fallopian tubes are not involved, it will not affect the reproductive function and pregnancy can still be achieved.
