What are the specific causes of pelvic inflammatory disease?

Pelvic inflammatory disease has always affected the health of many women. This disease has caused varying degrees of impact on women's lives and work. Therefore, female friends need to understand this disease in their lives and actively prevent it. Next, let us let the experts give a detailed introduction to the specific causes of pelvic inflammatory disease.

1. Infection after intrauterine surgery:

Such as placement or removal of intrauterine contraceptive device, curettage, tubal insufflation, hysterosalpingography, hysteroscopy, submucosal myomectomy, etc., due to sexual life before surgery or lax surgical disinfection or inappropriate selection of preoperative indications, the original chronic inflammation of the reproductive tract will cause acute attack and spread due to surgical interference.

2. Postpartum or post-abortion infection:

After delivery, the mother is weak, the cervix fails to close in time due to the outflow of residual blood and turbid fluid, there is a placental detachment surface in the uterine cavity, or the birth canal is damaged during delivery, or there are residual placenta and fetal membranes, or if she has sexual intercourse too early after delivery, pathogens can invade the uterine cavity and easily cause infection; vaginal bleeding lasts too long during spontaneous abortion or medical abortion, or there is tissue residue in the uterine cavity, or the aseptic operation of the artificial abortion operation is not strict, etc., all of which can cause post-abortion infection.

3. Poor menstrual hygiene:

If you do not pay attention to menstrual hygiene, use unclean sanitary napkins and panty liners, take a bath during menstruation, have sex during menstruation, etc., pathogens can invade and cause inflammation. If patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery, or do not follow the doctor's advice after surgery, bacteria can also spread and cause pelvic inflammatory disease. The cause of this pelvic inflammatory disease is more important.

4. Direct spread of inflammation in adjacent organs:

The most common cases are appendicitis and peritonitis. Since they are adjacent to the female internal reproductive organs, the inflammation can spread directly and cause pelvic inflammation. In chronic cervicitis, the inflammation can also spread through the lymphatic circulation and cause pelvic connective tissue inflammation.
