How pelvic inflammatory disease is caused

What causes pelvic inflammatory disease?

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a gynecological disease. First, it may be caused by infection after childbirth or abortion; it may be caused by excessive sexual activity and too many sexual partners; not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation can also induce pelvic inflammatory disease; then intrauterine contraceptive devices and sexual partners carrying bacteria can also induce pelvic inflammatory disease.

1. Postpartum or post-abortion infection

After childbirth, the mother's physique is weak and the cervix has not yet closed, so if it is damaged or deformed at this time, pathogens can easily invade the uterine cavity, which can easily lead to infection and pelvic inflammation.

2. Too much sex, too many sexual partners

Some women are infected with pelvic inflammatory disease due to sexual intercourse and sexual violence. The infection of pelvic inflammatory disease has little to do with the frequency of sexual intercourse, but is closely related to the number of sexual partners. Studies have shown that women with multiple sexual partners are five times more likely to develop pelvic inflammatory disease than those with a single sexual partner.

3. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation

During menstruation, the endometrium is shed and the blood clots expand, which prepares good conditions for bacterial reproduction. At this time, if unclean sanitary napkins are used, sexual intercourse during menstruation, etc., pelvic inflammatory disease may occur.

4. Intrauterine contraceptive device

Research reports show that the prevalence of intrauterine contraceptive device users is 2 to 4 times that of non-users, or even higher, which of course depends on the type of contraceptive device.

5. Your sexual partner carries bacteria

The main source of female infection and recurrence is men who carry bacteria. When women are treating pelvic inflammation, it is best to "bring" their sexual partners for regular checkups to fundamentally cure the inflammation.

For women, it is very important to keep clean and love yourself! Do not cause unimaginable harm to women due to excessive indulgence and multiple sexual partners. Women's physiological structure determines that they are more susceptible to gynecological diseases, so they must pay special attention to personal hygiene, wash underwear frequently, and keep the vulva dry and hygienic.
