Symptoms of postpartum gynecological inflammation

I believe many people know that pregnant women are very weak after giving birth. At this stage, they will be affected by many factors, especially prone to some infections. This is mainly because women suffer certain damage to their reproductive organs during childbirth. If this is not treated well, gynecological inflammation is most likely to occur. So when some pregnant women have gynecological inflammation after childbirth, what measures should be taken to solve these symptoms of gynecological inflammation?

Symptoms

The main manifestations of gynecological inflammation are common symptoms of gynecological inflammation, mainly itching of the vulva and vagina, and some local erosions, accompanied by burning pain, dysuria, frequent urination, increased vaginal discharge, redness and swelling, etc.

Common gynecological inflammations include:

1. Vaginitis: The main clinical features are changes in the properties of leucorrhea and itching and burning pain in the vulva. Pain is also common. When the infection involves the urethra, there may be symptoms such as urinary pain and urgency.

2. Cervicitis: The main symptom is increased vaginal discharge. In acute cervicitis, the leucorrhea is purulent, accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral area, or bladder irritation symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. The leucorrhea of ​​chronic cervicitis is milky white mucus or light yellow purulent.

3. Pelvic inflammatory disease: lower abdominal pain accompanied by fever. If the condition is severe, there may be chills, high fever, headache, and loss of appetite. If the disease occurs during menstruation, there may be increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation. If the disease occurs outside of menstruation, there may be increased leucorrhea. If there is peritonitis, digestive system symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, diarrhea, etc. will appear.

Causes

What causes gynecological inflammation?

1. Intrauterine device - not paying attention to personal hygiene opens the door for bacterial invasion. It should be noted that the placement of an intrauterine contraceptive device itself does not directly lead to acute adnexitis. Inflammation only occurs when there is no strict aseptic operation during placement of the device or when personal hygiene is poor after placement.

2. Running the "red light" - having sexual intercourse during menstruation, bringing in bacteria. Sexual intercourse during menstruation is not only a trigger for acute adnexitis, but also a common trigger for other gynecological inflammations.

3. Childbirth or abortion - the body's resistance decreases, pathogens ascend through the reproductive tract and spread to the fallopian tubes and ovaries, and then affect the entire pelvic cavity.

4. Sexually transmitted disease infection - pathogenic bacteria spread upward along the mucous membrane, causing infection and inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries.

5. Sitting for a long time - lack of activity, poor blood circulation, especially the lower back blood vessels, resulting in obstruction of venous return. Due to the special anatomical structure of the pelvis, blood return is even worse, affecting the normal detoxification function of the uterine appendages. If there are other factors affecting it at the same time, inflammation is likely to occur.

6. Often wear tight pants - the perineum is not breathable, vaginal excrement accumulates, causing inflammation, and then ascends to induce adnexal inflammation.

7. Improper cleaning of the vulva - such as washing the anus first and then the perineum, the bacteria from the anus will be brought into the vagina; or taking a bath in a tub during menstruation, the bacteria will also ascend and invade the internal reproductive organs. Some people mistakenly believe that washing the vulva with clean water is the safest, and even use hot water to wash the vulva when it itches. They also say that it feels comfortable after washing. In fact, the vulva is invaded by bacteria just like the oral cavity, and saliva and vaginal secretions have self-cleaning functions. The oral cavity is no dirtier than the vagina, but why do we need to brush our teeth in the morning and evening? By the same token, the private parts also need daily care. It is more appropriate to use a female care solution with a Ph4 weak acid formula, which can maintain the self-cleaning function of the female private parts.

8. Others - If latent infection lesions in other parts of the body are not treated in time, the pathogens can spread through the blood and reach the fallopian tubes and ovaries, with tuberculosis infection being the most common. Inflammation of the pelvic cavity or organs adjacent to the fallopian tubes, such as appendicitis, can affect the abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity, and then affect the appendages. The inflammation caused by this reason is generally limited to the adjacent fallopian tube and ovary: the pathogens of sexually transmitted diseases sneak into the reproductive tract through non-sexual pathways. For example, when you are on a business trip and stay at a travel agency, you may expose the bathtubs and bathrobes that sexually transmitted diseases have used to you to your room without your knowledge.
