What are the complications of pelvic peritonitis?

Pelvic peritonitis is a common disease and everyone is familiar with it, but many people do not have a correct understanding of it. If pelvic peritonitis is not treated in time and continues to develop for a long time, it will cause some complications, especially chronic pelvic peritonitis. Let's take a look at the complications of chronic pelvic peritonitis.

1. Pelvic adhesion: Severe pelvic peritonitis can spread to the pelvic peritoneum, uterus and other tissues, eventually causing widespread adhesions.

2. Pain during sexual intercourse: During sexual intercourse, a slight force from the man can cause impact pain deep in the woman's pelvis, which not only makes the woman feel no pleasure, but may even cause her to develop an aversion to sex over time.

3. Infertility: Pelvic peritonitis will directly affect the function of the uterus and fallopian tubes, especially chronic pelvic peritonitis, which will cause the fallopian tubes to rigidify or block, seriously affecting the movement of sperm and the delivery of eggs, and ultimately causing infertility.

4. Ectopic pregnancy: Pelvic peritonitis is often caused by untimely treatment. Over time, it can cause adhesion of the inner mucosa of the fallopian tube, leading to narrowing or closure of the lumen. In this way, the movement of eggs, sperm or fertilized eggs will be blocked, resulting in ectopic pregnancy.

5. Dysmenorrhea: Since pelvic peritonitis involves all internal parts of the reproductive organs, including inflammation of the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries, the range of dysmenorrhea caused is very large, mainly manifested as persistent pain in the upper abdomen on both sides, which can radiate to the waist, sometimes accompanied by a feeling of heaviness and distension in the anus.

The above are the complications caused by long-term chronic pelvic peritonitis. Through the above content, everyone has learned that not only does chronic pelvic peritonitis itself bring harm, but it also causes a series of other complications. Therefore, chronic pelvic peritonitis must be treated in time.
