What are the dangers of pelvic peritonitis in women?

In daily life, pelvic peritonitis is very common, so many people know about it, but few people know about it. The harm of pelvic peritonitis is very great, but many people ignore it. This is very wrong because you do not have a correct understanding of the harm of pelvic peritonitis. The following introduces the harm of pelvic peritonitis.

1. Recurrent attacks: The main reason is the destruction of the fallopian tube tissue structure caused by pelvic peritonitis; if the patient is still under the same high-risk factors, it may cause reinfection of pelvic peritonitis and lead to recurrent attacks.

Second, pelvic peritonitis can easily turn into chronic pelvic pain. Chronic pelvic pain is easy to remain after an acute pelvic peritonitis attack. It usually occurs 4-8 weeks after an acute attack of pelvic peritonitis. And the possibility of occurrence increases with the number of pelvic peritonitis attacks.

3. Pelvic peritonitis can easily lead to infertility. The incidence of infertility is related to the number of pelvic peritonitis attacks. Relevant studies have shown that the first attack of pelvic peritonitis has a minimum infertility rate of 8% and a maximum infertility rate of 13%. The third attack has a minimum infertility rate of 40% and a maximum infertility rate of 60%.

4. Pelvic peritonitis can easily lead to ectopic pregnancy. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy after pelvic peritonitis is 8-10 times that of normal women. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy is also related to the number of attacks of pelvic peritonitis. Relevant studies have shown that the incidence of ectopic pregnancy is 6% in the first attack of pelvic peritonitis, 12% in the second attack, and 22% in the third attack.

5. It may cause kidney disease. If acute pelvic connective tissue inflammation is not treated, the inflammation will not only spread to the fallopian tubes, pelvic peritoneum and other tissues and organs, causing pelvic abscesses, but may also spread upwards, causing abscesses around the kidney tissue and causing kidney disease.

The female reproductive system is relatively fragile, and problems in any aspect may cause pelvic peritonitis, which is likely to lead to female infertility. Therefore, once symptoms of pelvic peritonitis are found, it is important to seek medical attention in time to prevent the harm from becoming more and more serious. At the same time, you must actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment to prevent recurrence.
