Can cervical erosion cause pelvic inflammatory disease?

Many people are worried about their situation after suffering from cervical erosion, because cervical erosion is not a single disease, and the disease will not stay where it is when it is not treated. If it is not treated well, it is very likely to cause cervical erosion to cause other diseases, even cervical cancer. And many people are worried that cervical erosion will cause pelvic inflammatory disease, so will cervical erosion cause pelvic inflammatory disease?

First, cervical erosion occurs due to childbirth, miscarriage, puerperal infection or surgical operation or mechanical stimulation such as sexual intercourse that damages the cervix and pathogens invade and cause infection. Since the penis and cervix are in direct contact during sexual intercourse, if sexual hygiene is not paid attention to, the bacteria can be directly brought into the vagina and infect the cervix;

Second, pelvic effusion can be divided into physiological pelvic effusion and pathological pelvic effusion according to pathological factors.

1. Physiological pelvic effusion is not a bad thing for women. It is usually less and will be gradually absorbed. Don't be afraid. It usually does not require treatment.

2. Pathological pelvic effusion. In clinical practice, pelvic effusion in most women is caused by inflammation, which is the presence of inflammatory exudate in the pelvis. If it is not treated, it can grow slowly. Pathological gynecological pelvic effusion is mostly caused by pelvic inflammatory adnexitis or endometriosis. The causes of pelvic inflammatory adnexitis are mostly related to the patient's bad hygiene habits, such as menstruation, sexual life within one month after delivery, bathing within one month after gynecological surgery, etc. Medical infection caused by artificial abortion and induced labor without strict disinfection can also cause pelvic effusion. If there are chronic infection lesions, it may be caused by inflammation in the gynecological system such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes in the pelvic cavity, causing pelvic effusion, or it may be caused by tuberculosis or tumors. There are also a few cases caused by ruptured ectopic pregnancy, ruptured corpus luteum, pelvic abscess, chocolate cyst, and ovarian cancer. There are also very few cases of pelvic effusion caused by tuberculosis.

There are many reasons for cervical erosion, such as unclean sex, multiple artificial abortions, excessive cleaning leading to bacterial imbalance, prolonged menstruation, multiple sexual partners, excessive sexual intensity, (more than 4 times a week) sexual intercourse during menstruation, etc. If cervical erosion is not treated early, it may lead to ascending infection and pelvic inflammatory disease. Multiple abortions may also lead to pelvic inflammatory disease. You need to follow the doctor's advice and go to a regular hospital for treatment.

The main pathogens that cause pelvic inflammatory disease are: Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, anaerobic bacteria, sexually transmitted pathogens (such as gonococci, Chlamydia trachomatis, mycoplasma, herpes virus).

The main causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease are postpartum or abortion infection, postoperative infection after intrauterine surgery, poor menstrual hygiene, and direct spread of inflammation of adjacent organs. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease can cause the body to develop acute endometritis and acute myometritis, acute salpingitis, pyosalpinx, tubo-ovarian abscess, acute pelvic connective tissue inflammation, acute pelvic peritonitis, sepsis and septicemia, etc. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is often caused by the failure to completely treat acute pelvic inflammatory disease, or the patient's poor physical condition and prolonged course of the disease.

It can cause chronic salpingitis and hydrosalpinx, salpingo-oophoritis and salpingo-ovarian cysts, and chronic pelvic connective tissue inflammation. General treatment relieves patients' worries, enhances their confidence in treatment, increases nutrition, exercises, pays attention to the combination of work and rest, and improves their body's resistance.

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene and sexual hygiene, strictly prohibit sexual intercourse during menstruation, keep the vulva and vagina clean at ordinary times, actively treat vaginitis, cervicitis, appendicitis and other gynecological inflammatory diseases, and prevent artificial abortion and infection after delivery.

2. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease must be treated thoroughly to avoid it turning into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease should pay attention to proper work and rest to prevent the recurrence of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.

4. Moderate sexual intercourse to avoid worsening symptoms.

5. Eat light food, avoid raw, cold, spicy and stimulating foods, and drink plenty of water.

The chance of cervical erosion causing pelvic inflammatory disease is generally very small, so you don't need to worry too much. As long as the cervical erosion is cured, pelvic inflammatory disease can be improved in time. When treating pelvic inflammatory disease, you should also avoid adding some psychological pressure to yourself. If you treat the disease when you are under great pressure, the recovery effect will be very poor. If you have cervical erosion and pelvic inflammatory disease at the same time, you must quickly seek symptomatic treatment.
