What are the dangers of pelvic inflammatory disease?

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease in women. This type of disease has a great impact on women's bodies. After suffering from this disease, women will have obvious discomfort in their bodies. There are many ways to treat pelvic inflammatory disease. Medication and surgery are both good choices. Depending on the different conditions of women, the treatment methods chosen are also different. So what are the dangers of gynecological pelvic inflammatory disease? This is also something that many women are not very clear about.

What are the hazards of gynecological pelvic inflammatory disease:

1. Kidney disease. If acute pelvic connective tissue inflammation is not treated, the inflammation can not only spread to the fallopian tubes, pelvic peritoneum and other tissues and organs, causing pelvic abscesses, but can also spread upward, leading to perirenal abscesses.

2. Fallopian tube pregnancy. Chronic salpingitis is a common factor that interferes with the normal operation of the fertilized egg and is the main cause of fallopian tube pregnancy. According to experts, pelvic inflammatory disease can more than double the risk of ectopic pregnancy.

3. Sepsis and sepsis. Patients with sepsis often have chills, high fever, rapid and weak pulse, multiple bleeding spots on the skin and mucous membranes, splenomegaly, and in severe cases, may become unconscious or even fall into a coma. Sepsis is when pyogenic bacteria enter the bloodstream, circulate through the blood, and cause secondary abscesses in other parts of the body.

4. Diffuse peritonitis. The development and spread of inflammation can spread to the outermost layer of the uterus, the serosa, which is the part that connects the uterus to the other organs in the pelvic cavity. Inflammation can lead to pelvic peritonitis, which can develop into diffuse pelvic peritonitis with symptoms of systemic poisoning, such as high fever and nausea.

5. Infertility. Inflammation of any part of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries or surrounding tissues in the female pelvic cavity, including the pelvic peritoneum, can cause infertility. Especially when acute inflammation turns into chronic if not treated thoroughly, or when chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is not treated in time and becomes chronic, it often causes infertility in women.

6. Septic shock. In the case of severe infection, pathogens multiply rapidly in the body. These bacteria secrete large amounts of endotoxins, which circulate throughout the body with the blood and quickly cause the body to react. This is also one of the causes of acute infectious shock. Experts from the Gynecology Center pointed out that if it is not discovered in time and treated appropriately, it may cause life-threatening consequences.

7. Cause ectopic pregnancy. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is mostly bilateral salpingitis, which over time causes adhesion and blockage of the fallopian tubes, and narrowing or closure of the lumen. This causes the fertilized egg to be unable to implant in the uterine cavity, resulting in an ectopic pregnancy.

These are the dangers of gynecological pelvic inflammatory disease. If women do not receive timely treatment after suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease, these problems will be induced, causing serious damage to the female body. Therefore, when women find that they have such a disease, they need to actively cooperate with the treatment, which will be of great help in stabilizing the disease and preventing the disease from continuing to develop.
