The harm caused by pelvic inflammatory disease

What are the dangers of pelvic inflammatory disease?

Pelvic inflammatory disease is one of the most common gynecological diseases. Severe pelvic inflammatory disease can lead to female infertility, ectopic pregnancy, ovarian damage, etc. It will especially affect female infertility, and childbearing is a very important thing in a woman's life.

The harm caused by pelvic inflammatory disease:

1. Cause infertility

The occurrence of pelvic inflammatory disease often affects both fallopian tubes, causing adhesions in the lumen or even complete blockage, which hinders the passage of eggs, sperm or fertilized eggs and leads to infertility.

2. Cause ectopic pregnancy

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is mostly bilateral salpingitis, which causes adhesion and blockage of the fallopian tubes over time, narrowing or atresia of the lumen, resulting in the inability of the fertilized egg to implant in the uterine cavity and forming an ectopic pregnancy.

3. Affecting the couple’s life

Pelvic inflammatory disease often recurs and is long-lasting, causing patients to experience negative emotions such as anxiety, irritability, and depression, and secondary sexual apathy and sexual aversion, affecting their married life.

4. Damage to ovarian function

Chronic inflammation can cause pelvic congestion, menorrhagia, menstrual disorders when ovarian function is damaged, and infertility when fallopian tube adhesions are blocked. Acute inflammation may cause diffuse peritonitis, sepsis, and even septic shock. Chronic inflammation, which cannot be cured for a long time and recurs repeatedly, affects women's normal work and life as well as their physical and mental health.
