Causes of pelvic inflammatory disease

Causes of pelvic inflammatory disease:

The causes of pelvic inflammation are related to many factors, which can generally be divided into exogenous and endogenous infections, including age factors, sexual activity, gynecological surgical infection, and the spread of inflammation in adjacent organs. Understanding the causes of pelvic inflammation can better prevent the harm of pelvic inflammation, reduce the incidence of pelvic inflammation, and benefit women's reproductive health.

1. Age factor

Pelvic inflammatory disease often occurs in women of active age and has obvious characteristics of youth. Women of childbearing age should pay more attention to reproductive health and have regular gynecological examinations, which will help to detect the disease in time and receive treatment as soon as possible.

2. Sexual activity too early

Premature sexual activity can significantly increase the incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease. This is because the reproductive organs of young women are not yet fully mature, and the mechanical defense functions of cervical column epithelial ectopy and cervical mucus are poor. Premature sexual life will destroy their own defense mechanisms, leading to an increased incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Postoperative infection

Surgery can cause damage to the genital tract mucosa and even bleeding and necrosis, which can easily lead to bacterial infection. Among them, induced abortion is the most common high-risk factor for pelvic inflammation, followed by traumatic gynecological examination, which can also easily increase the risk of pelvic inflammation.

4. Inflammation and infection of other organs

Diseases such as appendicitis and peritonitis occur near the pelvic cavity. If the infection is not controlled in time, bacteria will invade the pelvic organs and tissues, causing acute and chronic inflammation.

5. Improper menstrual care

During menstruation, women's body resistance decreases, the endometrium sheds, and the cervix opens, providing opportunities for bacterial infection. Women should pay attention to diet and nutrition during menstruation, strengthen self-protection, especially use sanitary products, pay attention to choosing regular products, avoid bathing, and prevent bacterial infection and pelvic inflammation.

When women are physically weak, pelvic inflammatory disease is easy to invade. Knowing the high-risk factors of pelvic inflammatory disease can better understand the disease, reduce the incidence of the disease, and reduce the harm of pelvic inflammatory disease to women's reproductive health.
