What causes adnexitis?

Adnexitis refers to inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. However, fallopian tube and oophoritis are often accompanied by parauterine connective tissue inflammation and pelvic peritonitis, and it is difficult to distinguish them during diagnosis. So what is the cause of adnexitis ?

(1) The cause of adnexitis is primarily due to decreased resistance after childbirth or abortion. Pathogens can ascend through the reproductive tract and spread to the fallopian tubes and ovaries, and then to the entire pelvic cavity, causing inflammation.

(2) With the widespread use of intrauterine devices, patients may not pay attention to personal hygiene or the surgical procedure may not be strict, which may cause the disease.

(3) Uterine cavity operations performed without strict disinfection, such as vacuum extraction, hysterosalpingography, cervical canal treatment, and obstetric surgery infections without strict disinfection.

(4) Not paying attention to menstrual hygiene, having sexual intercourse during menstruation or having unclean sexual intercourse, etc.

(5) If infections in other parts of the body are not treated promptly, the pathogens can spread through the bloodstream and cause salpingo-oophoritis, which is more common in tuberculosis diseases.

(6) When inflammation occurs in the pelvic cavity or organs adjacent to the fallopian tubes, such as appendicitis, it can spread directly to cause salpingo-oophoritis and pelvic peritonitis. The inflammation usually occurs in the adjacent fallopian tube and ovary.

(7) Sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea. After infection, gonococci can spread upward along the mucous membrane, causing inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries.

The above is the introduction to the causes of adnexitis, I hope it can help everyone. To prevent adnexitis, we still need to pay attention to hygiene in our lives.
