(2) While intrauterine devices are widely used, fallopian tube disease is caused by patients not paying attention to personal hygiene or not performing surgical procedures strictly.

(3) If there is an infection in other parts of the body and it is not treated promptly, the pathogens can spread through the bloodstream and cause salpingo-oophoritis, which is more common in tuberculosis diseases.

(4) After childbirth or abortion, due to the decrease in resistance, pathogens can ascend through the reproductive tract and spread to the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and then the entire pelvic cavity, causing fallopian tube inflammation.

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