What causes pelvic peritonitis?

Pelvic peritonitis is a type of gynecological inflammation that female friends are more likely to get. Due to personal hygiene problems, more and more women suffer from pelvic peritonitis. This disease must be treated in time. If the treatment is not thorough or not treated in time, it will lead to female infertility. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the cause of pelvic peritonitis and have a policy to respond in time. Here we will introduce why female friends are prone to pelvic peritonitis. Generally speaking, pelvic peritonitis can be contracted due to infection after gynecological surgery, having sex immediately after delivery, not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation, nosocomial infection, and swimming during physiological time.

1. Infection after gynecological surgery:

Many women may develop pelvic peritonitis after gynecological surgeries such as artificial abortion, tubal insufflation, IUD insertion or removal, endometrial polyp removal, salpingography, or submucosal myomectomy if the disinfection is not strict or they have chronic inflammation of the reproductive system.

2. Having sex immediately after giving birth:

Do not have sex too early after childbirth, otherwise it is very easy to get pelvic peritonitis, which is not good for the body. Check 42 days after normal delivery. If the uterus recovers well and there are no discomfort symptoms, you can have sex; if it is a caesarean section, you must wait 2 months after the birth before having sex. You can seek advice from a gynecologist before having sex.

3. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation:

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

4. Nosocomial infection:

Large-scale or long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, the use of corticosteroids and anti-metabolites, increased intensity of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, various gynecological surgeries and family planning surgeries, etc., can all reduce the patient's defense capabilities and cause pelvic infection and pelvic peritonitis.

5. Swimming during physiological time:

If women swim during menstruation, it will make it easier for bacteria to enter the body and cause infection. Because the resistance of the vagina will decrease during the ovulation period, swimming during menstruation will easily cause infection. Women with vaginitis, acute pelvic peritonitis, acute cervicitis and urinary tract infection should not go swimming before they recover, otherwise it will increase the chance of recurrence of pelvic peritonitis.

The above is a detailed introduction to "Why are female friends prone to pelvic peritonitis?" I hope it can help the majority of patients and friends. For female friends, hygiene during menstruation is very important. If you don't pay attention, the chance of contracting pelvic peritonitis is very high, so it must attract the attention of the majority of women.
