How to confirm pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a gynecological disease in women. The growth site of the pelvic cavity is on both sides of the pelvis, and the most direct manifestation of this disease is the presence of fluid in the pelvic cavity, which can easily cause bacterial and fungal infection. In the early stage of pelvic inflammatory disease, there are not many changes in the body, but in the later stage, symptoms such as pain and itching will appear. You must go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Pelvic inflammatory disease must be treated as early as possible to have a different effect. The following is a detailed introduction to the confirmation method.

Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to inflammation of the female reproductive organs, connective tissue around the uterus, and pelvic peritoneum. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is often caused by incomplete treatment of the acute phase. It has a long duration and is a stubborn disease. Bacteria retrogradely infect the pelvis through the uterus and fallopian tubes. But in real life, not all women will suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease, only a few will develop it. This is because the female reproductive system has a natural defense function that can resist bacterial invasion under normal circumstances. Pelvic inflammatory disease will only occur when the body's resistance decreases or the female's natural defense function is destroyed due to other reasons.

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.

5. Others

Acute attacks of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.
