Why does pelvic inflammatory disease occur?

As a woman, it is inevitable to be troubled by some gynecological diseases, such as common vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease. Some women often feel lower abdominal pain and excessive vaginal discharge. After going to the hospital for examination, they are told that they have pelvic inflammatory disease. At this time, you will feel very surprised. How can you suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease when you usually pay attention to private care? Let's take a look at the causes of pelvic inflammatory disease!

Why do women get pelvic inflammatory disease?

1. Infection after intrauterine surgical operations such as placement or removal of intrauterine contraceptive ring, curettage, tubal insufflation, hysterosalpingography, hysteroscopy, submucosal myomectomy, etc. Due to sexual life before the operation or lax surgical disinfection or inappropriate selection of preoperative indications, the original chronic inflammation of the reproductive tract may cause acute attack and spread due to surgical interference.

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 may invade and cause inflammation. If the patient does not pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery, or does not follow the doctor's instructions after surgery, bacteria may also spread and cause pelvic inflammatory disease. The cause of this pelvic inflammatory disease is more important.

3. Postpartum or post-abortion infection. The mother is weak after delivery, and the cervix fails to close in time due to the outflow of residual blood and turbid fluid. There is a placenta detachment surface in the uterine cavity, or the birth canal is damaged during delivery, or there are residual placenta and fetal membranes, or if she has sexual intercourse too early after delivery, pathogens take advantage of the opportunity to invade the uterine cavity and easily cause infection. This is also the cause of pelvic inflammatory disease.

In summary, there are many reasons why female friends suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease, such as infection after intrauterine surgery, poor menstrual hygiene, infection after delivery or abortion, etc. Therefore, female friends must pay attention to menstrual hygiene, and if surgery is required, they must pay attention to post-operative infection issues.
