What are the causes of pelvic inflammatory disease in girls?

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease among women. Since the pelvis is very important, once a woman suffers from this disease, it will have a great impact on her health. In addition, pelvic inflammatory disease is a high-incidence disease, which makes many people very concerned about the cause of pelvic inflammatory disease. So, what are the causes of pelvic inflammatory disease in girls? Let’s take a closer look below.

1. Postpartum or post-abortion infection

After delivery, the mother is weak, the cervix fails to close in time due to lochia discharge, there is a placenta detachment surface in the uterine cavity, or the birth canal is damaged during delivery, or there are placenta and fetal membrane residues, or if she has sexual intercourse too early after delivery, pathogens invade the uterine cavity and easily cause infection; vaginal bleeding lasts too long during spontaneous abortion or medical abortion, or there are tissues remaining in the uterine cavity, or the aseptic operation of the artificial abortion operation is not strict, etc., all of which can cause post-abortion infection.

2. Infection after intrauterine surgery

For example, during the placement or removal of an intrauterine contraceptive device, curettage, hydrotubation, hysterosalpingography, hysteroscopy, submucosal myomectomy, etc., due to preoperative sexual intercourse or lax surgical disinfection or inappropriate selection of preoperative indications, acute infection may occur and spread after the operation; some patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene after the operation, or do not follow the doctor's orders after the operation, which can also cause bacterial ascending infection and cause pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Poor menstrual hygiene

If you do not pay attention to menstrual hygiene, use unclean sanitary napkins and panty liners, take a bath during menstruation, have sexual intercourse during menstruation, etc., pathogens can invade and cause inflammation.

4. Direct spread of inflammation in adjacent organs

The most common cases are appendicitis and peritonitis. Since they are adjacent to the female internal reproductive organs, the inflammation can spread directly and cause pelvic inflammation. In chronic cervicitis, the inflammation can also spread through the lymphatic circulation and cause pelvic connective tissue inflammation.

The above is an introduction to the causes of pelvic inflammatory disease in girls. I hope it will help women understand it. There are many causes of pelvic inflammatory disease in girls. In order to prevent the disease from occurring, we must pay attention to it and actively take preventive measures to avoid pelvic inflammatory disease from occurring in us and causing greater impact on our health.
