What are the transmission routes of pelvic peritonitis?

Pelvic peritonitis is a common gynecological disease. It often occurs in several parts of the pelvic organs at the same time. It seriously endangers the physical and mental health of female friends and even causes infertility. Female friends should pay great attention to it. Pelvic peritonitis is not a transmitted disease and is not contagious. So, what are the infection routes of pelvic peritonitis? The following is introduced to you by an infertility expert:

What are the routes of infection for pelvic peritonitis?

1. Postpartum or post-abortion infection: The patient is weak after childbirth or miscarriage, and the cervical opening has not been well closed after dilation. At this time, the bacteria in the vagina and cervix may ascend and infect the pelvic cavity.

2. Postoperative infection in gynecological surgery: If the disinfection is not strict or there is chronic inflammation of the reproductive system during artificial abortion, IUD insertion or removal, fallopian tube intubation, salpingography, endometrial polyp removal, or submucosal uterine myoma removal, 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.

3. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation: During menstruation, the endometrium is exfoliated, the blood sinuses in the uterine cavity are open, and there are blood clots, 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 the hygiene standards, or have sex, it will provide bacteria with opportunities for retrograde infection, leading to pelvic peritonitis.

4. Spread of inflammation to adjacent organs: The most common is when appendicitis and peritonitis occur. Since they are adjacent to the female internal reproductive organs, inflammation can spread directly and cause inflammation of the female pelvic peritoneum. When suffering from chronic cervicitis, inflammation can also spread through the lymphatic circulation and cause pelvic connective tissue inflammation.

Through the above experts' introduction to "What are the infection routes of pelvic peritonitis", do you have a certain understanding? Infertility experts remind: Pelvic peritonitis seriously endangers the health of female friends, and in severe cases it may even lead to infertility, so it should be treated early.
