What are the common dangers of pelvic inflammatory disease

No matter what kind of disease occurs in life, it will have a certain impact on our health. Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease. It must be familiar to female friends. Although the disease is common, the harm and impact it brings cannot be ignored. So, let's take a look at the common hazards of pelvic inflammatory disease.

1. Infertility

For women who have not given birth, the biggest harm of pelvic inflammatory disease is infertility. Inflammation of any part of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries or surrounding tissues in the pelvic cavity, including the peritoneum in the pelvic cavity, can cause infertility. Especially when acute inflammation fails to be completely treated and turns into chronic inflammation, or because chronic pelvic inflammatory disease has a slow onset and the condition is relatively mild, it does not attract attention, so it is not treated in time and becomes chronic, which often causes infertility in women.

2. It can also cause ectopic pregnancy

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is mostly caused by untimely treatment, which can cause adhesion of the inner mucosa of the fallopian tube over time, leading to narrowing or closure of the lumen. In this way, the movement of eggs, sperm or fertilized eggs will be blocked, and ectopic pregnancy will follow.

3. Septic shock

In the case of severe infection, pathogens multiply rapidly in the body. These bacteria secrete large amounts of endotoxins, which circulate throughout the body with the blood and quickly cause the body to react. This is also one of the causes of acute infectious shock.

4. Causes kidney disease

Because the pelvic connective tissue is connected to the retroperitoneal connective tissue and can reach around the kidneys, if acute pelvic connective tissue inflammation is not treated, the inflammation can not only spread to the fallopian tubes, pelvic peritoneum and other tissues and organs, causing pelvic abscesses, but can also spread upwards and lead to perirenal abscesses.

There are many causes of pelvic inflammatory disease, most of which are related to cleanliness and hygiene. If you do not pay attention to cleanliness or touch items with germs, you are likely to get pelvic inflammatory disease. Therefore, female friends must pay attention to the proper care of their genitals in daily life and do a good job of preventing pelvic inflammatory disease. If you suffer from such a disease, you should also actively treat it to reduce the occurrence of harm.
