Women, please pay attention! Nightly passion is most likely to cause pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to inflammation of the female upper reproductive tract and its surrounding tissues. Pelvic inflammatory disease often occurs in women who are sexually active, especially those who have their first sexual intercourse at a young age or who have sex too frequently.

Gynecological clinics often see patients like this: they only think of going to the hospital for examination when they experience severe pain in the waist and abdomen, abnormal leucorrhea, etc., and are finally diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease in the hospital. Patients are often puzzled: I have always paid great attention to hygiene, why did I get pelvic inflammatory disease? Gynecological experts remind you that in fact, careless sexual life and repeated abortions can also cause pelvic inflammatory disease.

Young women often contract pelvic inflammatory disease due to excessive sexual activity

According to Director Liu of the Department of Gynecology at Guangzhou Medical College , pelvic inflammatory disease refers to inflammation of the female upper reproductive tract and its surrounding tissues, mainly including endometritis, salpingitis, tubo-ovarian abscess, and pelvic peritonitis. Inflammation can be limited to one part or affect several parts at the same time. The most common ones are salpingitis and salpingo-oophoritis. Pelvic inflammatory disease often occurs in women who are sexually active, especially those who have sexual intercourse for the first time at a young age, have sex too frequently, have multiple sexual partners, or whose sexual partners have sexually transmitted diseases. Among these patients, there are more young women than middle-aged women.

"Today's young people have an open sexual consciousness and have sex too frequently. The bacteria brought into the vagina from the outside will destroy the balance of the normal vaginal flora (Lactobacillus), causing the bacteria to grow and multiply rapidly, triggering pelvic inflammatory disease." Director Liu pointed out that unclean sexual intercourse is an important cause of pelvic inflammatory disease. Many young people are so excited before sex that they ignore local hygiene and rush into it. After repeated sexual intercourse, there is no timely urination or cleaning, and even sexual intercourse during menstruation, which causes bacteria to ascend and infect the pelvic cavity, causing pelvic inflammatory disease.

Due to excessive sex and lack of self-protection awareness, repeated abortions are now very common among many young women. Some women often undergo irregular, unhygienic and unsafe abortion operations in small clinics and hospitals, which can easily lead to residual residues in the uterine cavity or bacterial invasion, causing internal genital inflammation, the most common of which are pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, endometritis, etc.

Lack of orgasm may worsen pelvic inflammatory disease

In contrast to young women, many middle-aged women have this question: If they cannot reach orgasm during sex for a long time, will it lead to gynecological diseases?

According to Director Liu, due to the large changes in the volume of the pelvic cavity, the pelvic veins will form many reticular venous plexuses, which have thin walls and lack elasticity and valves compared to arteries, making them prone to expansion and congestion. "Some women (especially middle-aged women) cannot reach orgasm for a long time during sex, their sexual tension cannot be released, and their genital congestion cannot subside in time, which can cause poor blood flow in the pelvic veins." Director Liu said that if a woman has previously had pelvic inflammation, the severity of the disease will increase, making the disease more difficult to cure.

Many infertility cases are related to pelvic inflammatory disease

"Every woman needs to pay great attention to pelvic inflammatory disease. Unfortunately, many women currently do not fully understand the harmfulness of pelvic inflammatory disease." Director Liu specifically pointed out that if pelvic inflammatory disease is not treated promptly and correctly during the acute phase, it will gradually develop into a chronic inflammation, which in mild cases will affect the quality of life. In severe cases, fallopian tube adhesions may occur, leading to infertility.

"About one-third of gynecological surgeries every month are due to infertility caused by untreated pelvic inflammatory disease." Director Liu said that on the day of the interview alone, two of the six gynecological surgeries she performed were due to infertility caused by the sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease.
