Why does pelvic inflammatory disease hurt? Pressure on the pelvic cavity

Pelvic inflammatory disease can cause pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region of patients. This is mainly because pelvic inflammatory disease can cause stagnant exudate in the pelvic cavity and adhesion of the pelvic wall. If the connective tissue becomes suppurative, it can also form an abscess, which will compress the local pelvic cavity and cause pain. In addition, it may also be caused by lack of exercise and acute attacks.

The incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease among women has always been high. Once the pelvic tissue is infected and inflamed, it will cause a series of adverse symptoms, the most common of which is lower abdominal pain. However, some patients believe that pelvic inflammatory disease will not induce pain, so they will feel surprised when it occurs. So why does pelvic inflammatory disease hurt?
1. Pelvic effusion <br/>When the pelvic connective tissue is infected and inflamed, it often causes some exudate to accumulate in the pelvic cavity, inducing complications such as pelvic effusion. The effusion may compress the pelvic organs, thereby affecting the local blood circulation in the pelvis, which can cause discomfort such as lower abdominal pain or lumbar pain. The pain symptoms are greatly aggravated by inactivity at night, and in severe cases, they may recur violently.
2. Pelvic Adhesions <br/>Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can easily cause pelvic adhesions if it is not treated in time. These mainly include intestinal adhesions and pelvic wall adhesions. Adhesions will pull on the abdominal muscles. If the pulling force is too great, it can cause muscle strain, thus causing pain in the lower abdomen. In addition, if there are unexcreted contents in the intestines, the abdominal pain will also increase.
3. Pelvic abscess <br/>When the course of pelvic inflammatory disease is prolonged, it may cause suppuration of pelvic tissues and inflammatory histological lesions. After the abscess is formed, it will exert great pressure on the local tissues. The patient will also have severe lower abdominal pain. If the abscess compresses the bladder and rectum, it may also be accompanied by symptoms such as urinary pain and defecation pain.
4. Long-term lack of exercise <br/>Because pelvic inflammatory disease makes patients feel tired all day long, patients will rarely exercise during the onset of the disease, and the abdominal muscles will become relatively delicate. Once the patient starts exercising, especially if he does not follow the principle of gradual exercise, each time the amount of exercise is too large, it will cause abdominal pain.
5. Acute infection of inflammation <br/>In the case of an acute attack of pelvic inflammatory disease, the patient will have a persistent high fever due to the acute infection, which may also induce headaches, and the attack may affect normal life and work.
