Can pelvic inflammatory disease cause diarrhea?

Women are particularly prone to pelvic inflammatory disease after giving birth, because after a childbirth, the woman's uterus has become very fragile. If she does not take a good confinement period after giving birth, her body will become very weak and the uterus will recover slowly, which may cause pelvic inflammation. After pelvic inflammation, the woman's lower body will feel pain and may also bleed. So will pelvic inflammatory disease cause diarrhea?

When the female pelvic reproductive organs and their surrounding connective tissues, and the pelvic peritoneum become inflamed, it is called pelvic inflammatory disease, which includes metritis, salpingo-oophoritis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation, and pelvic peritonitis. It can occur in one or several places at the same time and is one of the common diseases in women. Because the fallopian tubes and ovaries are collectively called accessories, and inflammation of the fallopian tubes often affects the "neighboring" ovaries. Therefore, it is also called adnexitis.

Can pelvic inflammatory disease cause diarrhea? Possibly. The reason why pelvic inflammatory disease may cause diarrhea is that the uterus is located in front of the rectum. When suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease, the uterus is located in the back and the pelvic cavity is congested, which will compress the sacral nerves and produce a feeling of falling. The uterus squeezes the rectum, stimulating the contraction of the rectal mucosa and causing defecation. If a pregnant woman suffers from pelvic inflammatory disease, the pelvic cavity and uterus will become more congested, and the inflammation will spread to the rectum, which will irritate the rectum and cause diarrhea.

Pelvic inflammatory disease not only causes diarrhea, but acute pelvic inflammatory disease also causes persistent lower abdominal pain that worsens when walking, accompanied by chills, fever, loss of appetite and other discomforts, and purulent vaginal discharge with an odor. The main symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease are distension and pain in the lower abdomen, and soreness in the lower back, which often worsens after fatigue, sexual intercourse, and before and after menstruation.

Pelvic inflammatory disease causes diarrhea. This type of diarrhea is difficult to diagnose as pelvic inflammatory disease. We only know that it is recurrent chronic diarrhea. If the cause of the diarrhea is unknown, you should go to a regular gynecological hospital for a gynecological examination. If you are diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease, you should actively seek treatment and pay attention to correcting the retroposition of the uterus. Patients can also alleviate symptoms by lying prone on their right side. Use a combination of Chinese and Western medicine and cooperate with doctors to actively treat the disease. Diarrhea will naturally improve after pelvic inflammatory disease is cured.

The above briefly introduces the question of whether pelvic inflammatory disease will cause diarrhea, and why it causes diarrhea.
