Can pelvic inflammatory disease be contagious to friends?

Many female friends are worried about contracting some diseases, especially gynecological diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease. Sometimes they share a basin for cleaning at home, and sometimes they are not careful enough to get pelvic inflammatory disease. If a person has pelvic inflammatory disease, will they be infected? According to experts, generally speaking, pelvic inflammatory disease is not contagious to others. The cause of pelvic inflammatory disease is the spread of inflammation of the external genitalia, or it can be caused by inflammation of adjacent organs or infection in other parts of the body. Bacteria often enter the pelvic cavity during menstruation, miscarriage, childbirth, or through the wounds of various reproductive tract surgeries, causing inflammation.

Experts say that pelvic inflammatory disease is not contagious, but it may cause other diseases, such as spreading infection and causing cervicitis. The main transmission routes are: transmission through blood circulation, spread through the lymphatic system, spread along the genital mucosa, and direct spread after infection of adjacent organs.

1. Transmission through blood circulation: The pathogen first invades other systems of the human body, and then infects the genitals through blood circulation. This is the main route of tuberculosis infection. 2. Spread along the genital mucosa: After the pathogen invades the vulva and vagina, it spreads along the mucosa through the cervix, endometrium, and fallopian tube mucosa to the ovaries and abdominal cavity. Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, and Staphylococcus aureus spread along this route

3. Direct spread: After infection of other abdominal organs, it spreads directly to the internal reproductive organs, such as appendicitis can cause right salpingitis

Pelvic inflammatory disease can easily cause infection in other parts of the body, especially in the reproductive organs. There are still some differences between individuals. It is better to be especially careful about the spread of pelvic inflammatory disease. Sometimes pelvic inflammatory disease can also spread through blood circulation and infect other organs. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the prevention of pelvic inflammatory disease in a timely manner. In particular, attention should be paid to preventing its spread.
