Causes of pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease causes:

The main causes of pelvic inflammatory disease are infection in women after childbirth or miscarriage; spread of inflammation and infection of adjacent organs; infection in women during gynecological surgery, such as hysterosalpingography; and lack of attention to hygiene during menstruation.

1. Postpartum or post-abortion infection

If the patient is postpartum or postpartum, it will inevitably lead to physical weakness and poor recovery of cervical dilation. At this time, if there are bacteria in the vagina and cervix, upward infection may occur, thus inducing pelvic inflammatory disease.

2. Inflammation spreads to adjacent organs

For example, appendicitis and peritonitis are two more common inflammations that can easily induce pelvic inflammatory disease. Because the appendix and the abdominal cavity are adjacent to the internal reproductive organs, inflammation can be directly transmitted to induce pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Infection after gynecological surgery

In many gynecological surgeries, such as artificial abortion, IUD insertion or removal, including tubal hydrotubation and salpingography, such as endometrial polypectomy and submucosal myomectomy, if the disinfection is not strict, or there is chronic inflammation of the original reproductive system, it may induce postoperative infection. Some patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery, or do not follow the doctor's advice after surgery and resume sexual life too early, which can also cause bacterial infection and pelvic inflammation.

4. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation

During menstruation, the endometrium is peeled off, the blood sinuses in the uterus are open, and there are blood clots, which are good conditions for bacterial reproduction. If you do not pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, use sanitary napkins or toilet paper that do not meet hygiene standards, or have sexual intercourse, it will give bacteria a chance to retrograde infection and cause pelvic inflammation.

For women, pelvic inflammatory disease is very harmful. If the condition is serious, it will inevitably damage women's fertility and even their health. It is necessary to diagnose and treat it as soon as possible.
