What causes adnexitis?

Adnexitis seriously harms the health of female friends. Many women with adnexitis are threatened with infertility, which destroys many families. Many female friends are distressed as to why they suffer from adnexitis. Let us take a look at the following causes of adnexitis. I hope everyone can understand it and remind everyone to pay attention to adnexitis.

Causes of adnexitis:

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.

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 insufflation, salpingography, endometrial polyp removal, or submucosal uterine myomectomy, postoperative infection may occur. Some patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery, or do not follow the doctor's advice and resume sexual life too early, which can also cause bacterial infection and adnexitis.

3. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation: During menstruation, the endometrium is exfoliated, the blood sinuses in the uterine cavity are open, and blood clots exist, which are good conditions for bacteria to grow. If you do not pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, use sanitary napkins or toilet paper that do not meet the hygiene standards, or have sex, it will provide bacteria with opportunities for retrograde infection and lead to adnexitis.

4. Spread of inflammation to adjacent organs: This is common in cases of appendicitis and peritonitis. Since they are adjacent to the female internal reproductive organs, inflammation can spread directly and cause inflammation of the female appendages. In the case of chronic cervicitis, inflammation can also spread through the lymphatic circulation and cause pelvic connective tissue inflammation.
