How is pelvic inflammatory disease caused?

Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to a group of infectious inflammations in the female upper reproductive organs. It can be divided into acute and chronic types. It is also one of the common diseases in women.

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is manifested by low fever, fatigue, and, when the disease lasts for a long time, neurasthenia, such as lack of energy, general discomfort, insomnia, and lower abdominal distension, pain, and lumbar pain. It often worsens after fatigue, sexual intercourse, and before and after menstruation. Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease may also experience increased menstruation and leucorrhea.

Pelvic inflammatory disease is mostly caused by hygiene problems. Detailed introduction to the causes of pelvic inflammatory disease:

1. Postpartum or post-abortion infection: The patient is weak after childbirth or miscarriage, and the cervical opening has not been well closed after dilation. At this time, the bacteria in the vagina and cervix may ascend and infect the pelvic cavity; if there are still placenta and fetal membranes remaining in the uterine cavity, the chance of infection is greater.

2. Postoperative infection in gynecological surgery: If the disinfection is not strict or there is chronic inflammation of the reproductive system during artificial abortion, IUD insertion or removal, fallopian tube intubation, salpingography, endometrial polyp removal, or submucosal uterine myoma removal, it is possible to cause postoperative infection. Some patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery, or do not follow the doctor's advice and have sexual intercourse, which can also cause bacteria to ascend and cause pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation: 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 provide bacteria with an opportunity for retrograde infection and lead to pelvic inflammatory disease.
