Causes of pelvic inflammatory disease in women

Causes of pelvic inflammatory disease in women:

Female pelvic inflammation is related to many factors, the most common high-risk factors include: not paying attention to menstrual hygiene, pelvic organ damage, improper postpartum care, gynecological examination or postoperative infection, etc. In order to have a healthy body, we must start with the details, strengthen diet and nutrition, pay attention to personal hygiene, and actively prevent the occurrence of pelvic inflammation.

Pelvic inflammatory disease is the most common gynecological inflammation in clinical practice, mainly occurring in the female pelvic reproductive organs and surrounding connective tissues and pelvic peritoneum.

The reasons are mainly related to the following factors:

1. Menstrual hygiene

During menstruation, the endometrium is shed, the cervix opens, and the presence of menstrual blood provides the best conditions for bacterial reproduction. If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene during menstruation, use unqualified sanitary napkins, or take a bath, swim, or even have sex, bacteria will enter the uterus through the vagina and cervix, reach the pelvic cavity, and cause pelvic inflammation.

2. Pelvic organ diseases

Inflammations of the organs around the pelvic cavity, such as appendicitis and peritonitis, can cause bacteria to invade the pelvic cavity and cause pelvic organ infections through direct transmission. In gynecological diseases such as cervicitis and vaginitis, bacteria can infect pelvic tissues through lymphocytes, causing pelvic inflammation.

3. Improper postpartum care

The postpartum period is a high-risk period for pelvic inflammatory disease. Postpartum women are weak and their resistance to bacteria is reduced. If you do not pay attention to postpartum care and personal hygiene is not in place, it is easy to cause bacterial infection. Bacteria can also enter the pelvic cavity through the unclosed cervix and cause pelvic infection.

4. Infection after gynecological examination or surgery

Gynecological examinations require the use of tools. If the instruments are not clean or improperly operated, it is easy to damage the pelvic environment and cause bacterial infection. Gynecological surgeries such as artificial abortion, improper postoperative care, or premature sexual life will give bacteria a chance and are also the main cause of pelvic inflammation.

The cause of pelvic inflammatory disease is relatively complex. During treatment, it is best to combine the cause and targeted treatment to achieve better results.
