What causes pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common female reproductive system infection, which may be caused by sexually transmitted infections, irregular menstruation or hygiene problems, long-term use of intrauterine contraceptive devices, spread of appendicitis, intrauterine surgery, etc. Mild pelvic inflammatory disease can be relieved by taking amoxicillin capsules, clarithromycin capsules, metronidazole tablets and other drugs, while severe pelvic inflammatory disease may require hospitalization. If pelvic inflammatory disease occurs, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time.

1. Sexually transmitted infections: Sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea and genital trachoma, are transmitted through sexual contact and may lead to pelvic inflammatory disease.

2. Irregular menstruation or hygiene problems: Irregular menstrual cycles, use of inappropriate hygiene products or sexual intercourse during menstruation may increase the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Long-term use of intrauterine devices: Intrauterine devices may increase the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, especially if the device is not replaced on time or is incarcerated.

4. Spread of appendicitis: If appendicitis is not treated promptly, the inflammation may spread to the pelvic cavity and cause pelvic inflammatory disease.

5. Intrauterine surgery: such as artificial abortion, delivery, hysteroscopy and other surgical operations, if the operation is not done properly or the postoperative infection is not properly controlled, it may lead to pelvic inflammatory disease.

If pelvic inflammatory disease is not treated in time, it may lead to serious complications, such as fallopian tube obstruction, infertility, etc. Maintaining good personal hygiene habits, regular gynecological examinations, and avoiding unsafe sexual behavior are important measures to prevent pelvic inflammatory disease.
