What causes postpartum pelvic inflammatory disease?

Many pregnant mothers are very prone to pelvic inflammatory disease after giving birth. This may be because we do not pay attention to maintaining good genital hygiene. The continuous growth and spread of bacteria causes us to suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease. The problem of pelvic inflammatory disease may cause blockage of our fallopian tubes. Let's understand what causes postpartum pelvic inflammatory disease.

1. Infection in women after childbirth or miscarriage: 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; if there are still placenta and fetal membranes remaining in the uterine cavity, the chance of infection is greater.

2: The exposed part of the female external genitalia has an opening, which is connected to the internal genitalia deep in the pelvic cavity. Pathogens can easily ascend directly or indirectly and cause pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. The couple did not pay attention to sexual hygiene. This is the most common reason and is often overlooked by the majority of female compatriots. When a couple has sex, due to the complex internal environment of the female friend's vagina and the proliferation of bacteria, the male friend's entry can easily bring in bacteria, causing vaginal inflammation and then pelvic inflammation. This inflammation can easily turn into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease in an acidic environment.

4. 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.

What causes postpartum pelvic inflammatory disease? The causes are different for each person, so the treatment methods will also be different. The most important thing is that we must maintain good hygiene, develop good living habits, and never engage in blind sexual promiscuity, which can reduce the chance of pelvic inflammatory disease.
