Do you have pelvic inflammatory disease?

Is pelvic inflammatory disease contagious? The emergence of gynecological diseases has brought certain harm and impact to the lives of many women. As we all know, vaginitis has many clinical classifications, some of which are contagious, such as Trichomonas vaginitis. Pelvic inflammatory disease is also one of the common gynecological diseases, so many people worry that the disease will also be contagious. So, is pelvic inflammatory disease contagious?

Pelvic inflammatory disease can be acute or chronic, and refers to inflammation of the female reproductive organs, connective tissue around the uterus, and the pelvic peritoneum. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is often caused by incomplete treatment of the acute phase, and it takes a long time to develop and is more stubborn. Bacteria retrogradely infect the uterus and fallopian tubes and reach the pelvic cavity. I can tell you for sure that pelvic inflammatory disease is not contagious. The disease is not contagious.

In real life, not all women will suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease, only a few will. This is because the female reproductive system has a natural defense function, which can resist the invasion of bacteria under normal circumstances. Only when the body's resistance is reduced or the natural defense function of women is damaged due to other reasons, will pelvic inflammatory disease occur.

Symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease are usually dull pain in the lower abdomen, muscle tension, tenderness and rebound pain, accompanied by rapid heart rate, fever, and a large amount of purulent vaginal discharge. In severe cases, the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease in women may include high fever, headache, chills, loss of appetite, a large amount of yellow leucorrhea with a odor, abdominal distension, tenderness, and back pain. If you experience these symptoms, you need to pay attention.

In addition, if you do not pay attention to menstrual hygiene, use unclean sanitary napkins and pads, take a bath during menstruation, have sex during menstruation, etc., pathogens can invade and cause pelvic inflammation. During spontaneous abortion or medical abortion, vaginal bleeding lasts too long, or there are tissues left in the uterine cavity, or artificial abortion surgery is not strictly sterile, etc., causing postpartum infection and leading to pelvic inflammatory disease.

Finally, I would like to advise female friends in life that in order to avoid the occurrence of gynecological diseases, we must have good living habits and hygiene habits, and we can participate in various forms of sports activities, especially endurance training such as running and mountain climbing, to enhance resistance. According to surveys, the incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease among female friends who insist on using condoms is significantly lower than that of women of the same age who do not use condoms. It is an extremely effective method, especially for women with multiple sexual partners and complex sexual relationships.
