Experts answer common causes of pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease. In real life, many female friends suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease. What are the causes of pelvic inflammatory disease ? Here are some common causes of pelvic inflammatory disease.

Common causes of pelvic inflammatory disease include:

1. 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 is still placenta and fetal membranes in the uterine cavity, the chance of infection is greater. This is a common cause of pelvic inflammatory disease.

2. Previous pelvic inflammatory disease: Those with a history of pelvic inflammatory disease are 20 times more likely to relapse than those without such a history. 20% to 25% of PID patients may have another attack. Rather than considering this as an acute attack of "chronic" inflammation, it is better to consider it as a reinfection. The reason why it is easy to be reinfected is that the fallopian tube epithelium has been damaged, which is more sensitive to pathogens, and the local defense mechanism is impaired, which is also a common cause of pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Sexual life and the number of sexual partners: Sexual life is closely related to the causes of pelvic inflammatory disease, except for IUD and intrauterine operation. In addition, primary pelvic inflammatory disease is mostly caused by sexual activity or sexual exposure. The role of sperm in carrying bacteria should be considered. Homosexuality does not cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Infection has little to do with the frequency of sexual life, but it is related to the number of sexual partners. The incidence rate of women with multiple sexual partners is 5 times that of those without such relationships.

4. Untreated sexual partners: This is also a common cause of pelvic inflammatory disease. Male partners who carry gonococci, Chlamydia trachomatis, or other pathogens are important sources of infection and recurrence for women, and 80% of the sexual partners of women with pelvic inflammatory disease are untreated. Their lack of symptoms does not mean that they do not have infections such as gonococci.

The above is an introduction to the common causes of pelvic inflammatory disease. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Understanding and recognizing the causes of pelvic inflammatory disease can help patients receive better treatment and recover health as soon as possible.
