Pelvic inflammatory disease causes pain in the left lower abdomen. What causes it?

I believe everyone is familiar with pelvic inflammatory disease. Pelvic inflammatory disease can cause many symptoms, one of which is pain in the left lower abdomen. However, people cannot judge that it is pelvic inflammatory disease based on pain in the left lower abdomen, because other diseases may also cause this symptom.

1. Lower abdominal pain is only a symptom of pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a group of diseases caused by infection of the female upper reproductive tract. When the female internal reproductive organs, the surrounding connective tissue, and the pelvic peritoneum become inflamed, it is called pelvic inflammatory disease. Including salpingitis, oophoritis (collectively known as adnexitis), myometritis, endometritis, pelvic peritonitis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation and salpingo-oophoritis, etc.

2. Pelvic inflammatory disease is divided into acute pelvic inflammatory disease and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease according to the severity of the disease. It has a high incidence rate and is prone to recurrence, affecting women's health. The development of acute pelvic inflammatory disease can cause diffuse peritonitis, sepsis, septic shock, and in severe cases it can be life-threatening. If it is not completely cured in the acute stage, it will turn into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which is often long-lasting and can recur, seriously affecting women's health, life and work.

3. Lower abdominal pain is just one of the symptoms of pelvic inflammation, not the only symptom. If you observe carefully, you can usually find it early and buy more time for treatment.

4. Although pelvic inflammatory disease is only a minor inflammation, if it is not treated in time, it will affect the adjacent organs and cause lesions in other organs. Moreover, lower abdominal pain is only a manifestation of pelvic inflammatory disease, and it does not mean that you do not have pelvic inflammatory disease if you do not have lower abdominal pain. In addition, clinical findings show that some patients with tubal infertility have a history of pelvic inflammatory disease. This is because chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can easily lead to pelvic effusion, which in severe cases can lead to tubal inflammation, tubal elevation and adhesions, etc. Therefore, Beijing Tianlun Hospital recommends that female friends, especially those who want to have children, detect and treat pelvic inflammatory disease early.
