How does adnexitis occur?

How is adnexitis caused?

1. Infection after childbirth or abortion: If a woman is weak after childbirth or abortion, and her cervix is ​​dilated and not closed well, bacteria from the vagina and cervix may infect the pelvic cavity and induce adnexitis. If there are still placenta and fetal membranes remaining in the uterine cavity, the chance of adnexitis infection is greater.

2. Infection after gynecological surgery: Many women undergo gynecological surgery in their lives, such as artificial abortion, placement or removal of IUD, tubal insufflation, salpingography, endometrial polyp removal, etc. If these surgeries are not strictly disinfected, or if there is chronic inflammation of the original reproductive system, it will lead to bacterial infection and adnexitis.

3. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation: During menstruation, women will experience endometrial peeling, opening of intrauterine blood sinuses, and blood clots. This situation is actually a good condition for bacterial reproduction. At this time, if women do not pay attention to hygiene, or use sanitary napkins or toilet paper that do not meet hygiene standards, and have sexual intercourse, they are prone to bacterial infection and adnexitis.
