What causes recurrent pelvic peritonitis?

Many patients with pelvic peritonitis are particularly curious, so they ask what are the causes of pelvic peritonitis? Because pelvic peritonitis is now a relatively common gynecological disease in women, understanding the causes of pelvic peritonitis plays a good role in controlling the disease, so today our experts will introduce it to you in response to everyone's questions!

1) Postpartum or post-abortion infection: After delivery, the mother is weak, the cervix fails to close in time due to residual blood and turbid fluid flowing out, there is a placental detachment surface in the uterine cavity, or the birth canal is damaged during delivery, or there are residual placenta and fetal membranes, etc., or sexual intercourse is too early after delivery, pathogens take advantage of the opportunity to invade the uterine cavity and easily cause infection; post-abortion infection can occur if vaginal bleeding lasts too long during spontaneous abortion or medical abortion, or there are tissues remaining in the uterine cavity, or the aseptic operation of the artificial abortion operation is not strict, etc.

2) Infection after intrauterine surgical operation: such as placement or removal of intrauterine contraceptive ring, curettage, tubal insufflation, hysterosalpingography, hysteroscopy, submucosal myomectomy, etc. Due to sexual life before operation or lax surgical disinfection or inappropriate selection of preoperative indications, the original chronic inflammation of the reproductive tract may cause acute attack and spread due to surgical interference; some patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene after operation, or do not follow the doctor's orders after operation, which may also cause bacterial ascending infection and cause pelvic peritonitis.

3) Poor menstrual hygiene: If you do not pay attention to menstrual hygiene, use unclean sanitary napkins and panty liners, take a bath during menstruation, have sexual intercourse during menstruation, etc., pathogens may invade and cause inflammation.

4) Direct spread of inflammation from adjacent organs: The most common cases are appendicitis and peritonitis. Since they are adjacent to the female internal reproductive organs, inflammation can spread directly and cause pelvic peritonitis. In chronic cervicitis, inflammation can also spread through the lymphatic circulation and cause pelvic connective tissue inflammation.
