Pelvic peritonitis mainly includes endometritis, salpingitis, tubo-ovarian abscess, and pelvic peritonitis. Inflammation can be limited to one site or involve several sites at the same time. The most common are salpingitis and tubo-oophoritis. If pelvic peritonitis occurs, it is often the spread of inflammation in adjacent organs. Pelvic peritonitis has a certain impact on female fertility. Long-term treatment can cause infertility. It can be divided into acute and chronic according to its course of disease and clinical manifestations. What are the clinical symptoms of pelvic peritonitis? Different pelvic peritonitis has different symptoms.

[Acute pelvic peritonitis] There is a history of acute infection, lower abdominal pain, muscle tension, tenderness and rebound pain, accompanied by rapid heartbeat, fever, and a large amount of purulent vaginal secretions. In severe cases, there may be high fever, headache, chills, loss of appetite, a large amount of yellow leucorrhea with odor, abdominal distension, tenderness, and waist pain. In case of peritonitis, there may be nausea, abdominal distension, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. When an abscess is formed, there may be a lower abdominal mass and local compression and irritation symptoms. If the mass is located in the front, there may be difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and painful urination; if the mass is located in the back, it may cause diarrhea, tenesmus, and difficulty in defecation.

[Chronic pelvic peritonitis] Systemic symptoms include low fever and fatigue. Some patients develop neurasthenia symptoms due to the long course of the disease, such as insomnia, lack of energy, and general discomfort. Lower abdominal distension, pain, and lumbar pain are often aggravated after fatigue, sexual intercourse, and before and after menstruation. Chronic inflammation can cause pelvic congestion and menorrhagia. Menstrual disorders may occur when ovarian function is damaged, and infertility may occur when the fallopian tubes are blocked by adhesions. Acute inflammation may cause serious consequences such as diffuse peritonitis, sepsis, and even septic shock. Chronic inflammation, due to long-term treatment and repeated attacks, affects women's normal work and life as well as their physical and mental health.
