What are the causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease?

What are the causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease?

1. Postpartum or post-abortion infection

The patient is weak after childbirth or minor childbirth, and the cervix is ​​not closed well after dilation. At this time, bacteria in the vagina and cervix may infect the pelvic cavity; if there are still placenta and fetal membranes in the uterine cavity, the chance of infection is greater. This is one of the causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease.

2. Infection after gynecological surgery

During artificial abortion, IUD insertion or removal, fallopian tube insufflation, salpingography, endometrial polyp removal or submucosal uterine fibroid removal, if the disinfection is not strict or there is chronic inflammation of the original reproductive system, it may cause postoperative infection. Some patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery, or do not follow the doctor's advice and have sexual intercourse after surgery, which can also cause bacteria to infect upwards and cause pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation

During menstruation, the endometrium is peeled off, the blood sinuses in the uterus are open, and there are blood clots, which are good conditions for bacterial reproduction. If you do not pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, use sanitary napkins or toilet paper that do not meet hygiene standards, or have sexual intercourse, it will provide bacteria with opportunities for retrograde infection, which is also the cause of acute pelvic inflammatory disease.
