What is pelvic peritonitis?

Gynecological diseases are the most troublesome diseases for women in life. Almost every woman has suffered from gynecological diseases. Among them, pelvic peritonitis is the most common one. Female pelvic inflammation is often accompanied by varying degrees of pelvic peritonitis. In severe cases, the entire pelvic peritoneum becomes inflamed and can even spread to the entire abdomen to form diffuse peritonitis. So, what is pelvic peritonitis?

1. Not paying attention to menstrual hygiene, having sexual intercourse during menstruation or unclean sexual intercourse, etc.

2. The causes of pelvic peritonitis include sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea. After infection, gonorrhea can spread upward along the mucosa, causing inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries.

3. When infections in other parts of the body are not treated in time, the pathogens can be spread through the blood and cause salpingo-oophoritis, which is more common in tuberculosis diseases.

4. After delivery or abortion, due to the decrease in resistance, pathogens ascend through the reproductive tract and spread to the fallopian tubes and ovaries, then cause inflammation of the entire pelvic cavity. These are the causes of pelvic peritonitis.

5. Uterine cavity operations performed without strict disinfection, such as vacuum extraction, hysterosalpingography, cervical canal treatment, and obstetric surgery infections without strict disinfection are all causes of pelvic peritonitis.

6. While intrauterine contraceptive devices are widely used, patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene or the surgical procedures are not strict, which leads to many cases of acute salpingo-oophoritis and pelvic peritonitis.

7. Among the causes of pelvic peritonitis, when inflammation occurs in the pelvic cavity or organs adjacent to the fallopian tubes, such as appendicitis, it can directly spread to cause salpingo-oophoritis and pelvic peritonitis. The inflammation generally occurs in the adjacent fallopian tube and ovary.

Many people think that this is a simple disease. If they do not take pelvic peritonitis seriously, it will seriously affect the patient's work and quality of life. Pelvic peritonitis is not a difficult disease to treat. As long as you go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time and develop good hygiene habits, you will be able to get rid of the troubles of pelvic peritonitis.
