How does pelvic inflammatory disease develop?

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological inflammation problem. The reason for pelvic inflammatory disease is often caused by some bad habits, such as lack of attention to health and hygiene in the tourism economy, frequent abortions, and inflammation of some adjacent organs that spread to each other, which can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease.

1. 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 bacterial growth. If you do not pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, use sanitary napkins or toilet paper that do not meet hygiene standards, or have sexual intercourse, it will provide bacteria with an opportunity for retrograde infection and lead to pelvic inflammatory disease.

2. Postpartum or post-abortion infection: The patient is weak after childbirth or miscarriage, and the cervical opening has not yet closed well after dilation. At this time, the bacteria in the vagina and cervix may ascend and infect the pelvic cavity.

3. Infection after gynecological surgery: During artificial abortion, IUD insertion or removal, tubal insufflation, salpingography, endometrial polyp removal, or submucosal uterine myoma removal, if the disinfection is not strict or there is chronic inflammation of the reproductive system, postoperative infection may occur. Some patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery, or do not follow the doctor's orders after surgery and resume sexual life too early, which can also allow bacteria to ascend and cause pelvic inflammatory disease.

4. Spread of inflammation to adjacent organs: The most common occurrence is when appendicitis and peritonitis occur. Since they are adjacent to the female internal reproductive organs, the inflammation can spread directly and cause female pelvic inflammation. When suffering from chronic cervicitis, the inflammation can also cause pelvic connective tissue inflammation through the lymphatic circulation.
