Pelvic peritonitis infection rate

Is pelvic peritonitis contagious? Pelvic peritonitis is an inflammation caused by pathogenic bacteria invading the female reproductive organs. Most of the early symptoms of pelvic peritonitis are lumbar pain and lower abdominal distension, which worsens before and after menstruation. However, many women do not pay much attention to these symptoms when they appear, and often find out that the disease has developed seriously after going to the hospital. Pelvic peritonitis seriously affects the health and quality of life of patients. Pelvic peritonitis is not a transmitted disease and is not contagious. The following editor will introduce to you how pelvic peritonitis is infected.

Gynecologists tell us that there are four major routes of infection for pelvic peritonitis, which can spread through the lymphatic system, spread along the genital mucosa, spread directly through the blood circulation. Knowing the route of infection for pelvic peritonitis can fundamentally prevent the occurrence of inflammation and also help with treatment.

1. Spread of inflammation to adjacent organs: The most common occurs when appendicitis and peritonitis occur. Since they are adjacent to the female internal reproductive organs, the inflammation can spread directly and cause inflammation of the female pelvic peritonitis.

2. Caused by postpartum or abortion: Postpartum or post-abortion infection patients are 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.

3. Gynecological surgery: During artificial abortion, IUD insertion or removal, tubal insufflation, salpingography, endometrial polyp removal, or submucosal uterine myoma removal, if the disinfection is not strict or there is chronic inflammation of the reproductive system, it may cause postoperative infection.

4. 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.
