What are the dangers of pelvic inflammatory disease?

Pelvic inflammatory disease is very harmful to women, especially chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which often leads to repeated attacks and has a great impact on the health of the fallopian tubes. It often causes pain in women and can also cause infertility in women. It can also easily cause abnormal pregnancy in women, ectopic pregnancy, etc. More serious cases can even cause kidney disease. After suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease, you must receive regular treatment.

1. Recurrent attacks: The main reason is the destruction of the fallopian tube tissue structure caused by pelvic inflammatory disease. If the patient is still under the same high-risk factors, pelvic inflammatory disease may be reinfected, leading to recurrent attacks.

2. Pelvic inflammatory disease can easily turn into chronic pelvic pain, and chronic pelvic pain can easily remain after an acute pelvic inflammatory disease attack. It usually occurs 4-8 weeks after an acute attack of pelvic inflammatory disease. And the possibility of occurrence increases with the number of pelvic inflammatory disease attacks.

3. Pelvic inflammatory disease can easily lead to infertility. The incidence of infertility is related to the number of attacks of pelvic inflammatory disease. Relevant studies show that the first attack of pelvic inflammatory disease has a minimum infertility rate of 8% and a maximum infertility rate of 13%. , and the lowest infertility rate during the third attack is 40%, and the highest infertility rate is 60%.

4. Pelvic inflammatory disease can easily lead to ectopic pregnancy. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy after pelvic inflammatory disease is 8-10 times that of normal women. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy is also related to the number of pelvic inflammatory disease attacks. Relevant studies have shown that the incidence of ectopic pregnancy during the first attack of pelvic inflammatory disease is 6%, the second attack is 12%, and the third attack is 22%.

5. It may cause kidney disease. If acute pelvic connective tissue inflammation is not treated, the inflammation will not only spread to the fallopian tubes, pelvic peritoneum and other tissues and organs, causing pelvic abscesses, but may also spread upward. It causes abscesses around the kidney tissue and leads to kidney disease.

The female reproductive system is relatively fragile, and problems in any aspect may cause pelvic inflammatory disease, which is likely to lead to female infertility. Therefore, once symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease are found, it is important to seek medical attention in time, actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment, and prevent recurrence.
