Can chronic pelvic peritonitis be transmitted to sexual partners?

Can chronic pelvic peritonitis be transmitted to sexual partners? Pelvic peritonitis cannot be transmitted to husbands or other relatives. The disease is usually not transmitted through sex. The cause of pelvic peritonitis is the spread of inflammation of the external genitalia upwards, or it can be caused by inflammation of adjacent organs or infection in other parts of the body. Bacteria often enter the pelvic cavity during menstruation, abortion, childbirth, or through the wounds of various reproductive tract surgeries, causing inflammation.

Pelvic infertility is also a very common form of female infertility, so it is very important to take preventive measures. So what are the factors that cause pelvic peritonitis? We will explain it to you in detail below.

1. Secondary to pelvic cellulitis.

2. The spread of acute fallopian tube inflammation causes pelvic peritonitis. When the fallopian tube is acutely inflamed, pus in the lumen overflows through the abdominal cavity, or the fallopian tube peritonitis directly spreads and causes inflammatory lesions of the pelvic peritonitis.

3. Caused by other surgical diseases.

The entire pelvic peritoneum of women is congested with a large amount of serous exudate containing fibrin. When it becomes chronic, the uterine appendages and intestinal tract are widely adhered into a mass, and the greater omentum adheres to other organs like a roof from the top of the pelvic entrance, forming a wrapped inflammatory mass. This adhesion has a certain self-protective effect, limiting the inflammation to the pelvic cavity and avoiding diffusion to the whole abdomen.

The absorption capacity of the pelvic peritoneum is lower than that of the upper abdomen and can limit the absorption of toxins. However, exudate still exists in the adhesion gaps, and sometimes multiple small abscesses remain. Some can be completely absorbed and there may be no traces except for tight adhesions.

Pelvic peritonitis is harmful to women's physical and mental health. In severe cases, the entire pelvic peritonitis undergoes inflammation. In rare cases, it may even spread to the entire abdomen, becoming diffuse peritonitis. Some may lead to infertility. Moreover, pelvic peritonitis has a self-protection function. Abuse of surgical treatment may spread the inflammation.

If women do not pay attention to pelvic peritonitis, it will cause great harm to the body. Once pelvic peritonitis is detected, it should be treated in time.
