Will pelvic peritonitis get worse?

Female pelvic genital inflammation is often accompanied by pelvic peritonitis of varying degrees. In severe cases, the entire pelvic peritoneum undergoes inflammation changes, and in rare cases, it can even spread to the entire abdomen, becoming diffuse peritonitis. So, what are the symptoms of pelvic peritonitis? Will pelvic peritonitis become more and more serious?

Pelvic peritonitis can cause these hazards

Acute peritonitis, severe abdominal pain, tense abdominal wall, hunched back, resistance to abdominal palpation, depression, chest breathing, fever, decreased appetite, and sometimes vomiting.

When the inflammatory exudation of peritonitis is obvious, the abdomen may swell due to fluid accumulation, causing dehydration, weight loss, and anemia. Severe exudative peritonitis can cause adhesions between internal organs, affecting gastrointestinal motility and the normal physiological functions of other abdominal organs. Adhesive peritonitis often has a poor prognosis. There is severe spasmodic lower abdominal pain, which is continuous, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting, which is aggravated by activity; pain during urination and defecation, and diarrhea or constipation from time to time. Patients like to lie with their legs bent to relieve tension and pain in the abdominal wall. In severe cases, irritability, systemic failure, and even confusion, delirium, and coma may occur.

Therefore, the harm caused by pelvic peritonitis is enormous and must be treated actively.
