What causes uterine adnexitis?

Due to the special location of the inflammation and the combination of other inflammations when it occurs, adnexitis is often difficult to distinguish, so it is collectively referred to as adnexitis. Women suffer from adnexitis, which accounts for the majority. So, what are the causes of adnexitis? Let's take a look.

Causes of adnexitis

1. Due to decreased resistance during childbirth or after delivery, pathogens can ascend through the reproductive tract and spread to the ovaries, and then to the entire pelvic cavity, causing inflammation.

2. While intrauterine contraceptive devices are widely used, patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene or the surgical procedures are not strict, which may cause this.

3. Uterine cavity operations performed without strict disinfection, such as vacuum extraction, hysterosalpingography, cervical canal treatment, and obstetric surgery infections without strict disinfection.

4. When infections in other parts of the body are not treated in time, the pathogens can be spread through the blood and cause salpingo-oophoritis, which is more common in tuberculosis diseases.

5. When inflammation occurs in the pelvic cavity or organs adjacent to the fallopian tubes, such as appendicitis, it can directly spread to cause salpingo-oophoritis and pelvic peritonitis. The inflammation usually occurs in the adjacent fallopian tube and ovary.
