How much do you know about the causes of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease?

If acute pelvic inflammatory disease is not completely treated, it will often become chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, making the disease more difficult to cure and causing great harm to the patient. Understanding some of the causes of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is very helpful for the prevention and treatment of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.

1. Spread of inflammation to adjacent organs:

This is the most common cause of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Because they are adjacent to the female internal reproductive organs, inflammation can spread directly, causing female pelvic inflammatory disease. When suffering from chronic diseases, inflammation can also spread through the lymphatic circulation, causing pelvic connective tissue inflammation.

2. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation:

During menstruation, the endometrium is shed, the blood sinuses in the uterine cavity are open, and blood clots are present, which is a good condition for bacteria to grow. This may become the cause of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Gynecological postoperative infection:

When performing artificial abortion, IUD insertion or removal, tubal insufflation, salpingography, endometrial polyp removal, or submucosal excision, if the disinfection is not strict or there is chronic inflammation of the reproductive system, it is possible to cause postoperative infection, thereby causing chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.

4. Postpartum or post-abortion infection:

The patient is weak after childbirth or miscarriage, and the cervical opening has not closed very well after dilation. At this time, the bacteria in the vagina and cervix may ascend and infect pelvic inflammatory disease; if there are still placenta and fetal membranes remaining in the uterine cavity, the chance of infection is even greater.

Knowing the cause of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, we can carry out relevant prevention and treatment in a targeted manner, which is very important for the early recovery of patients. Women should develop good living habits, do a good job of self-hygiene, and reduce the causes of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.
