3. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation

During menstruation, the endometrium is shed, blood in the uterine cavity is open, and blood clots exist, which are good conditions for bacteria to grow. If you do not pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, use sanitary napkins or toilet paper that do not meet hygiene standards, or have sex, it will provide bacteria with an opportunity for retrograde infection and lead to pelvic peritonitis.

4. Infection after gynecological surgery

During artificial abortion, IUD insertion or removal, tubal intubation, salpingography, endometrial polyp removal, or submucosal uterine myomectomy, if the disinfection is not strict or there is chronic inflammation of the reproductive system, it is possible to cause postoperative infection. Some patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery, or do not follow the doctor's advice after surgery and resume sexual life too early, which can also cause bacterial infection and cause pelvic peritonitis.
