Why do you get pelvic inflammatory disease? What causes it?

When women suffer from gynecological inflammations such as salpingitis and endometritis, we generally call it pelvic inflammatory disease in clinical medicine. The symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease will cause women's menstrual flow to increase, and many women will also have symptoms of lower abdominal pain, which will greatly affect their normal daily life and reproductive function. Therefore, women of childbearing age must pay great attention to this disease. Everyone must eliminate the cause of the disease and have a good lifestyle. Some women have heard that having too many sexual partners can easily lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, but they don’t know why this is the case.

In daily life, many women do suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease, mainly due to their poor sexual life. Although pelvic inflammatory disease is not closely related to the frequency of sexual life, it is closely related to the number of sexual partners. If women have too many sexual partners, their probability of suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease is five times that of those with a single fixed sexual partner. This is mainly because too many sexual partners make it easy to be infected with bacteria. This requires that everyone must respect themselves in daily life. Too many sexual partners will not only cause pelvic inflammatory disease, but also may infect some diseases.

In addition to too many sexual partners, there are also the following factors.

1. Infection after childbirth or abortion

Women are in a relatively weak state after childbirth or miscarriage, and their cervix has not closed. If an injury occurs at this time, or if they are overworked, it is easy for pathogens to invade the uterine cavity and cause infection.

2. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation

However, women do not pay attention to hygiene during their menstrual period and do not use warm water to clean their private parts. Because the immune system in the vagina is actually very poor at this time, it is easy to be infected by some bacteria, so this kind of disease is very likely to occur.

Now you should understand how pelvic inflammatory disease can occur if you have too many sexual partners. Having too many sexual partners makes it easy to be infected with some bacteria. In addition, many men may have urinary system symptoms, which may also infect women. Therefore, everyone must respect themselves in daily life and go to the hospital for relevant examinations regularly.
