What are the causes of pelvic inflammatory disease?

Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to inflammation of female reproductive organs and tissues around uterus. Because there are many gynecological diseases in women, the causes of gynecological diseases are different, so female friends must protect their private parts in place, because this part can easily cause some inflammation. So what is the main cause of pelvic inflammatory disease? What are the effective measures to care for pelvic cavity?

1, the cause of pelvic inflammatory disease

1. Infection after delivery or abortion

After delivery, the parturient is weak, the cervix is not closed in time due to lochia, there is a placental exfoliation surface in the uterine cavity, or the birth canal is damaged due to delivery, or there is placenta and fetal membrane residue.

Or premature sexual behavior after delivery, pathogens invade the uterine cavity, which is easy to cause infection; Post-abortion infection can occur in the process of spontaneous abortion and drug abortion. The bleeding time of female private parts is too long, or there is tissue residue in the uterus, or the aseptic operation of induced abortion is not strict.

2. Infection after intrauterine operation.

Such as placing or taking out intrauterine contraceptive ring, curettage, hydrotubation, hysterosalpingography, hysteroscopy, submucosal myomectomy, etc. Due to poor preoperative sexual life or improper surgical disinfection or preoperative indications.

After the operation, the hair was dyed and scattered; Some patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene after operation, or do not follow the doctor's advice after operation, which will also cause bacterial infection and lead to pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Poor menstrual hygiene

If you don't pay attention to menstrual hygiene, use unclean sanitary napkins and pads, menstrual bath, menstrual sexual intercourse, etc. It can make pathogens invade and cause inflammation.

4. Inflammation of adjacent organs spreads directly.

The most common cases are appendicitis and peritonitis. Because it is adjacent to female internal reproductive organs, inflammation can spread directly, causing pelvic inflammatory disease. When suffering from chronic cervicitis, inflammation can also cause pelvic connective tissue inflammation through lymphatic circulation.

5. Others

Acute attack of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.

In postpartum, post-abortion infection, intrauterine surgery, we must give birth or induced abortion in a regular hospital, and follow the doctor's advice after surgery.

Good nursing can avoid pelvic inflammatory disease to the maximum extent. Other diseases of the body should also be treated in time so as not to affect neighboring tissues. You must pay attention to hygiene during menstruation. At this time, the resistance to physical strength is at a low level, so pay more attention.

The above are the major causes of pelvic inflammatory disease introduced by Bian Xiao, not only in terms of personal hygiene, but also some causes that are easy to cause infection. So how should we care for the pelvic cavity?

2. Measures to help care for pelvic cavity

1. Pay attention to the cleaning of menstrual period and the hygiene of female private parts at ordinary times;

During the menstrual period, the blood sinus expands after endometrial exfoliation, which creates a good environment for the growth of bacteria. If you don't pay attention to the hygiene of women's private parts at this time, use unclean sanitary napkins and have sexual intercourse during menstruation. It is easy for pathogens to invade the reproductive tract and cause pelvic inflammatory disease through upward transmission.

Women's private parts should also be kept clean and hygienic at ordinary times, and underwear should be changed frequently to keep private parts clean and dry. Some women think that keeping women's private parts clean means washing them with multiple women's private parts. In fact, this will destroy the original flora balance environment of female private parts, which is more likely to lead to pelvic inflammatory disease.

I have seen many patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease such as hydrosalpinx in clinic, and many of them have this bad habit. Therefore, sisters, if it is not because of female genital inflammation and other reasons, doctors advise women to wash their private parts, and never wash their private parts.

2. Sexual life should be moderate, and attention should be paid to cleanliness before and after sexual intercourse:

Sexual immorality is also an important cause of pelvic inflammatory disease. Just like frequent sexual intercourse, neglect of local cleaning before sexual intercourse, and untimely urination or cleaning after multiple sexual intercourse, even during menstrual period, these bad habits will cause bacteria brought into women's private parts from the outside to destroy the normal flora balance of women's private parts, lead to rapid growth and reproduction of germs, lead to upward infection of the pelvic cavity and lead to pelvic inflammatory disease. So, sisters, while sharing a room, remember to protect the cornucopia of your.

3. When there is no family planning, contraceptive measures should be taken to avoid repeated abortion:

Repeated abortion is also the cause of pelvic inflammatory disease in many young women. Most of the current abortions are painless, which reduces the pain of abortion, but it leads some women to mistakenly think that abortion is no big deal, and it is easy to "get caught" without paying attention to contraceptive measures in sexual life.

Many women think that there are too many people in regular hospitals and it is troublesome to check. They choose to have irregular, unsanitary and unsafe abortions in some informal clinics, which leads to genital inflammation and other adverse consequences.

So, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, you should do well in contraception when you don't want to have children. Secondly, all reproductive tract operations, including abortion, IUD removal, cervical surgery, etc. It is best to choose a regular hospital with strict disinfection and strong aseptic concept, and it is not easy to cause pelvic inflammatory disease due to infection.

4. Improve your resistance:

There are pathogenic bacteria in women's private parts. When you are strong, these bacteria will not come out to make trouble. Once the resistance drops, pathogenic bacteria will take the opportunity to enter and cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Therefore, everyone, we should pay attention to strengthening physical fitness and improving our own resistance. The most important thing to enhance physical fitness is a regular diet, proper exercise and a good attitude.

5. Pay attention to diet, eat less spicy and cold food, and keep the lower abdomen warm;

Summer is very hot, so many women don't avoid eating. They often like to eat some cold food to relieve summer heat, which may also lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, especially during menstruation, so they should avoid eating cold food. Similarly, if you stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time in summer, you should also pay attention to keeping your lower abdomen warm to avoid getting cold in your waist and abdomen.

6. Pay attention to combining work and rest:

Sedentary may also lead to pelvic inflammatory disease. Many office women often sit in the office to process documents and stay sitting for a long time. Because of lack of activity, pelvic venous return is blocked and there is too much congestion.

As a result, pelvic inflammatory disease has become a common gynecological disease of many sedentary women in the office. It is suggested that female friends who often sit in the office can get up and walk after sitting for a long time, and take part in some sports activities after work, such as yoga.

7. Women who often wear tight underwear or tight jeans:

It will also become the favored object of pelvic inflammatory disease, so when choosing underwear, it is best to choose breathable cotton underwear, not too small and too tight.

Summary: The causes of female pelvic inflammatory disease and some protective methods are introduced above, such as improving self-immunity, paying attention to the combination of work and rest, especially the personal hygiene problems during menstruation. I hope everyone can protect the pelvic cavity and avoid infection.

3. Common symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease

(1) Menstrual disorder: The symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease will first be irregular menstruation, and menorrhagia may occur in the early stage due to endometrial congestion and ulcer. Most patients have been ill for a long time, and the endometrium has been damaged to varying degrees, which is characterized by scanty menstruation or amenorrhea.

(2) Abdominal pain: Scar adhesion and pelvic congestion caused by chronic inflammation often cause abdominal distension, pain and lumbosacral pain, which is also a common symptom of pelvic inflammatory disease. It is often aggravated after fatigue, sexual intercourse and before and after menstruation.

(3) Infertility: Due to the destruction and adhesion of oviduct mucosa, the lumen is often blocked; Or because of adhesion around the fallopian tube, sometimes the lumen remains partially unobstructed. However, mucous cilia are destroyed, fallopian tubes are stiff, peristalsis is limited, transportation function is lost, and pregnancy cannot be achieved, so most patients are infertile. This is a serious symptom of pelvic inflammatory disease, and it is quite timely to treat pelvic inflammatory disease at this time.

(4) Symptoms of systemic pelvic inflammatory disease: most of them are not obvious, sometimes only accompanied by low fever, and easy to get tired. Due to the long course of disease, some patients may have neurasthenia symptoms, such as listlessness, general fatigue, insomnia and so on. When the patient's resistance is poor, it is easy to have acute or subacute attacks.

For patients with a long course of disease, some patients may have neurasthenia symptoms, such as listlessness, general fatigue, insomnia and so on. When the patient's resistance is poor, it is easy to have acute or subacute attacks.

Signs: The uterus is often in the posterior position, with limited mobility or adhesion and fixation. If it is salpingitis, one or both sides of the uterus touch the thickened fallopian tube, which is cord-like and slightly tender. If it is hydrosalpinx or tubal ovarian cyst, a cystic mass can be felt on one or both sides of the pelvic cavity, and the activity is limited. If it is pelvic connective tissue inflammation, the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease include flaky thickening and tenderness on one or both sides of uterus, and thickening, hardening and tenderness of uterosacral ligament.

Pelvic inflammatory disease can also cause complications. So if there are complications of pelvic inflammatory disease, the symptoms will be more complicated. For example, if patients have abscesses, they will have lower abdominal tumors and compression symptoms. If pelvic inflammatory disease is acute, they will have corresponding symptoms, such as elevated body temperature and rapid heartbeat.
