The consequences may vary in severity. Sometimes it will cause abdominal pain or irregular menstruation. Severe cases may lead to infertility. Gynecological inflammation must be taken seriously by us. Let us learn about the treatment methods of gynecological inflammation.

Causes of gynecological inflammation

1. Physiological reasons

(1) The skin of the female vulva is very delicate, has abundant sweat glands, many wrinkles, is hidden and not exposed, has poor air permeability, and is easily attacked by pathogens.

(2) The female reproductive organs and abdominal cavity are connected to the outside world, and pathogens can enter the uterus through the vagina.

(3) There are a large number of lactobacilli in the vagina, which can break down glycogen to produce lactic acid, making the vagina acidic and not conducive to the growth of harmful bacteria. However, when local resistance decreases, some bacteria and pathogens will take advantage of the situation and enter.

(4) The vaginal opening is close to the urethral opening and anus, and is contaminated by urine and feces, making it easy for bacteria to breed.

(5) Due to menstruation, pregnancy and other reasons, the cervix is ​​immersed in irritating secretions for a long time, causing epithelial shedding, which can easily lead to wrinkles in the cervical endometrium and the lurking of various pathogens in the glands.

2. Pathological causes

(1) Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation, using unclean sanitary pads, having sexual intercourse during menstruation, etc.

(2) Intrauterine surgery is not performed with strict disinfection.

(3) Gynecological surgeries such as abortion and childbirth can damage the cervix and vagina, leading to infection.

(4) The female vulva and genital mucosa are important organs involved in sexual activity. Sexual intercourse can cause damage to local tissues or cross-infection.
