Introduction to the four main causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease

As the condition of acute pelvic inflammatory disease continues to develop, the harm it brings to female friends will become more serious, which is very unfavorable to patients with acute pelvic inflammatory disease. What are the common causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease ? Let's talk about the common causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease.

In general, common causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease include:

1. 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 myomectomy, postoperative infection may occur. This is a common cause of acute pelvic inflammatory disease. Some patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery, or do not follow the doctor's advice and have sexual intercourse, which can also cause bacteria to ascend and cause acute pelvic inflammatory disease.

2. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation: This is also a common cause of acute pelvic inflammatory disease. 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 acute pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Postpartum or post-abortion infection: The patient is weak after childbirth or miscarriage, and the cervix has not closed well after dilation. At this time, the bacteria in the vagina and cervix may ascend to infect the pelvic cavity; if there are still placenta and fetal membranes in the uterine cavity, the chance of infection is greater. This is also a common cause of acute pelvic inflammatory disease.

4. Spread of inflammation to adjacent organs: The most common cause of acute pelvic inflammatory disease is appendicitis and peritonitis. Since they are adjacent to the female internal reproductive organs, inflammation can spread directly and cause female pelvic inflammation. In chronic cervicitis, inflammation can also spread through lymphatic circulation and cause pelvic connective tissue inflammation.
