What are the harms of pelvic peritonitis to the body

Many female friends have suffered from pelvic peritonitis and have tasted the pain. Even women who have not suffered from pelvic peritonitis have more or less heard about the harm of pelvic peritonitis, because the harm of pelvic peritonitis is not only physical, but also mental. Therefore, we should not underestimate it. Let the experts introduce the harms of pelvic peritonitis!

1. Infertility

For women who have not given birth, the biggest harm of this 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 pelvis, can cause infertility. Especially when acute inflammation fails to be completely treated and turns into chronic inflammation, or because chronic pelvic peritonitis 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. Tubal pregnancy

It is a type of ectopic pregnancy. Chronic salpingitis is the most common factor that interferes with the normal functioning of the fertilized egg and is the common and main cause of tubal pregnancy. It has been reported abroad that pelvic peritonitis can increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy by 2.7 times.

3. Diffuse peritonitis

The development and spread of inflammation can spread to the outermost serosal layer of the uterus, which is the part that connects the uterus to other pelvic organs. Inflammation can lead to pelvic peritonitis. If it continues to develop and worsen, it will form diffuse pelvic peritonitis, with symptoms of systemic poisoning, such as high fever, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension. Because the inflammatory exudation and cellulose coverage of the peritoneal surface can cause intestinal adhesions and abscesses, if the acute phase is not treated in time, it can develop into chronic pelvic peritonitis, leading to infertility.

4. Sepsis and sepsis

Pathogenic microorganisms of the lesions enter the blood, multiply in the blood, produce endotoxins, and cause sepsis. Patients often have chills, high fever, fast and weak pulse, multiple bleeding spots on the skin and mucous membranes, splenomegaly, and in severe cases, unconsciousness or even coma. Sepsis is when pyogenic bacteria enter the blood, not only multiply in the blood, but also spread through the blood circulation, causing multiple secondary abscesses in other parts of the body. Because abscesses are caused by bacterial embolism in the lumen of the organ capillaries, they are also called embolic abscesses or metastatic abscesses.

5. Septic shock

In the case of severe infection, pathogens multiply rapidly in the body. These bacteria secrete a large amount of endotoxins, which circulate throughout the body with the blood and quickly cause the body to respond. This is also one of the causes of acute septic shock. If it is not discovered and treated in time, it often causes life-threatening situations.

Suffering from pelvic peritonitis not only tortures the body, but also affects normal work and life as well as the patient's physical and mental health, making the patient suffer even more. Therefore, once female friends find that they have pelvic peritonitis, they should seek timely treatment and nip it in the bud in the early stages of the disease. Otherwise, if the disease is delayed for a long time, it will not only cause greater pain but also increase the difficulty of treatment.
