How is pelvic inflammatory disease caused? Four infectious factors are the main culprits
Osteoarthritis is a common gynecological disease, and its occurrence poses serious harm to women. It is necessary to clarify its causes and prevent it reasonably in daily life.
The hazards of osteodiscitis
1. Ectopic pregnancy: Osteoarthritis is often caused by delayed treatment, prolonged duration, adhesion of the inner layer of the fallopian tube mucosa, narrowing or closure of the lumen. In this way, the operation of eggs, sperm or zygote will be hindered, causing ectopic pregnancy.
2. Infertility: Pelvic disc inflammation directly affects the function of the uterus and fallopian tubes, especially chronic pelvic disc inflammation, where the fallopian tubes become rigid or blocked, seriously affecting the movement of sperm and the transportation of eggs, ultimately leading to infertility.
3. Dysmenorrhea: Osteoarthritis is related to all internal parts of the reproductive organs, including inflammation of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Therefore, dysmenorrhea has a wide range, mainly manifested as continuous pain in the upper abdomen on both sides, which can radiate to the waist, accompanied by a sensation of anal distension.
4. Sexual pain: During sexual activity, a slight amount of force from a man can cause deep pelvic impact pain in women, which not only makes them unable to feel pleasure, but can even lead to aversion to sexual activity over time. Hazard 5: Pelvic adhesions. Severe pelvic inflammatory disease spreads to tissues such as the pelvic peritoneum and uterus, ultimately causing widespread adhesiveness.
5. Recurrent attacks of pelvic inflammatory disease: The structural destruction of the fallopian tube tissue caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, local defense function decline, and patients still at the same high risk factor can be re infected to cause recurrent attacks of pelvic inflammatory disease. About 25% of patients with a history of pelvic inflammatory disease have relapsed.
Causes of pelvic inflammatory disease
1. Exogenous pathogens: The main mode of transmission is sexual transmission, such as Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. In addition, there are Mycoplasma hominis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Ureaplasma urealyticum and other mycoplasmas.
2. Endogenous pathogens: sourced from the microbiota that parasitizes the vagina, requiring both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, which can exist alone or in combination for infection. Anaerobic infection can lead to pelvic abscess, pus bubbles, fecal odor, and infectious thrombophlebitis.
Infection pathway of pelvic inflammatory disease
1. Along the genital mucosa: the main pathogens are gonococcus, Chlamydia trachomatis and staphylococcus, and pelvic inflammatory diseases during non pregnancy and non puerperium are easy to be infected through this way. Specifically, after external pathogens enter the vulva and vagina, the pathogens in the vagina gradually expand the infection range along the cervical mucosa, fallopian tube mucosa, and endometrium.
