What are the common hazards of pelvic peritonitis

Pelvic peritonitis is relatively common in life and is a gynecological disease with a high incidence rate. We should pay attention to the prevention and treatment of this disease. If the treatment is not timely, it will have a serious impact on the patient. Severe cases may also lead to female infertility. Below we introduce some of the hazards of pelvic peritonitis.

1. Ectopic pregnancy

Chronic pelvic peritonitis is mostly bilateral salpingitis, which can cause blockage and adhesion of the fallopian tubes, narrowing or atresia of the lumen, which can prevent the fertilized egg from implanting in the uterine cavity and cause an ectopic pregnancy.

2. Female infertility

Pelvic inflammation often affects both fallopian tubes, causing adhesions or even complete blockage of the lumen, which hinders the passage of eggs, sperm or fertilized eggs, leading to female infertility.

3. Affecting the couple’s life

The disease often recurs and is long-lasting, causing patients to experience negative emotions such as anxiety, irritability, depression, and secondary sexual apathy and sexual aversion, affecting their married life.

4. Damage to ovarian function

Chronic inflammation can cause pelvic congestion, menorrhagia, and irregular menstruation when ovarian function is damaged. Adhesion and blockage of the fallopian tubes can affect fertility. Acute inflammation can cause diffuse peritonitis, sepsis, and even septic shock. Chronic inflammation can affect women's normal work and life, as well as their physical and mental health, due to long-term treatment and repeated attacks.
