Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease with many causes. It is not only related to age, but also directly related to daily habits. We need to carry out reasonable prevention in daily life.
Causes of pelvic inflammatory disease
1. Age: According to data, the high incidence age of pelvic inflammatory disease is 15-25 years old. Young women are prone to pelvic inflammatory disease, which is related to frequent activity, cervical columnar epithelial ectopia, and poor mechanical defense function of cervical mucus.
2. Couple life: Osteoarthritis often occurs in women during the active period of couple life, especially when they are young for the first time, have multiple partners, and frequently spread the disease through partners.
3. Lower genital tract infection: lower genital tract infection is closely related to gonorrhoeal Neisseria cervicitis, chlamydial cervicitis, bacterial vaginosis and pelvic inflammatory diseases.
4. Infection after intrauterine surgery: curettage, tubal patency, hysterosalpingography, hysteroscopic examination, etc. The surgery causes damage, bleeding, necrosis of the reproductive tract mucosa, and an increase in endogenous pathogens in the lower reproductive tract.
5. Poor hygiene in marital life: During menstruation, using unclean menstrual pads, etc., is likely to allow pathogens to invade and cause inflammation, leading to illness. In addition, low-income groups do not pay attention to the health care of their spouses' lives, and the incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease is high among those who undergo vaginal flushing.
6. Inflammation in nearby organs directly spreads: appendicitis, peritonitis, etc. spread to the pelvis, and the pathogen is mainly Escherichia coli.
7. Pelvic inflammatory disease relapses into acute attacks: Pelvic inflammatory disease causes extensive pelvic adhesions, fallopian tube damage, decreased fallopian tube defense ability, and is prone to reinfection, leading to acute attacks.
Prevention of pelvic inflammatory disease
1. Pay attention to hygiene on physiological days: On physiological days, the endometrium is stripped and bleeding occurs, and the cervix is open. If hygiene is not taken care of, pathogenic infections can cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Therefore, do not engage in marital life, swimming, or bathing on physiological days, and do not use unclean sanitary pads to prevent pelvic infections.
2. Pay attention to the hygiene of spouses' lives: To avoid the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, it is very important to pay attention to the hygiene of spouses' lives. Pelvic inflammatory disease often occurs in women who are active in their marital life. Therefore, couples should use clean water to clean the external genitalia before and after life, to stay away from pathogen infections.
