What are the dangers of pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to inflammation of the female pelvic reproductive organs, connective tissue around the uterus and pelvic peritoneum. It is most common in married women. What are the dangers of pelvic inflammatory disease?

1. Pelvic inflammatory disease causes infertility: If pelvic inflammatory disease is not cured in time, it will cause adhesion and blockage of the female fallopian tubes, directly leading to female infertility.

2. Kidney disease: Since the pelvic connective tissue is connected to the retroperitoneal connective tissue, it can reach the periphery of the kidneys. If acute pelvic connective tissue inflammation is not treated, the inflammation will not only spread to the fallopian tubes, pelvic peritoneum and other tissues and organs, but also cause pelvic abscesses and lead to perirenal abscesses.

3. Threat of ectopic pregnancy: The incidence of ectopic pregnancy after pelvic inflammatory disease is 8 to 10 times that of normal women, and the incidence of ectopic pregnancy is also related to the number of attacks.

4. Septic shock: In the case of severe infection, pathogens multiply rapidly in the body. These bacteria secrete a large amount of endotoxins. Endotoxins circulate throughout the body with the blood and quickly cause human body reactions, which is also one of the causes of acute septic shock. If not discovered and treated in time, it often poses a life-threatening risk.

5. Psychological impact: Chronic inflammation can affect normal work, life, and physical and mental health. In addition to paying attention to exercise, strengthening physical fitness, and improving body immunity, female friends should also pay attention to personal hygiene and seek timely treatment for gynecological inflammation.
