Is pelvic inflammatory disease contagious? What are the ways?

Many people know that pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease, but few people know that pelvic inflammatory disease can also be infected to a certain extent. So, how is pelvic inflammatory disease transmitted? What should we pay attention to?

Experts say that pelvic inflammatory disease will not be transmitted in this way, but it may cause other diseases, such as transmitted infection, cervicitis, etc. Its main transmission routes are: blood circulation transmission, lymphatic system transmission, transmission along the genital mucosa and direct transmission after infection of adjacent organs.

1. The spread of pelvic inflammatory disease allows pathogens to invade other systems of the human body through the blood circulation. Pelvic inflammatory disease is the main route of tuberculosis infection.

2. Pelvic inflammatory disease spreads pathogens upward along the genital mucosa, invading the vulva. After the vagina, the mucosa passes through the cervix, endometrium, and fallopian tube lining to the ovaries and abdominal cavity. Staphylococci and gonorrhea spread in this way, which is also one of the ways pelvic inflammatory disease spreads.

3. Pelvic inflammatory disease spreads bacteria through the lymphatic system, invading the pelvic connective tissue and other parts of the internal reproductive organs. It is the main route of transmission of puerperal infection, post-abortion infection and some intrauterine contraceptive devices.
