What does pelvic inflammatory disease cause?

There will be distension and pain in the lower abdomen and soreness in the lumbar region, which usually worsens after fatigue, sexual intercourse, and before and after menstruation.

Pelvic inflammatory disease mostly occurs in sexually active, menstruating women. It rarely occurs in women before menarche, after menopause or unmarried people. If it occurs, it is often the spread of inflammation in adjacent organs.

The following consequences usually occur after the disease occurs:

1. Menstrual disorders: In the early stage, there may be menorrhagia due to endometrial congestion and ulceration. Most patients have been ill for a long time when they seek treatment, and the endometrium has been damaged to varying degrees, which manifests as scanty menstruation or amenorrhea.

2. Infertility: Due to the destruction and adhesion of the fallopian tube mucosa, the lumen is often blocked; or due to adhesions around the fallopian tube, the lumen sometimes remains partially unobstructed. However, the mucosal cilia are destroyed, the fallopian tube is stiff, the peristalsis is restricted, and the transport function is lost, and conception cannot occur, so most patients are infertile.

3. Because the combination of sperm and egg requires a very complicated process, sperm needs to go through layers of screening to reach the uterus. No matter if there is a problem in any link, it will have an obstructive effect. If the implantation position is wrong, it will also lead to ectopic pregnancy.
