The occurrence of pelvic inflammatory disease is related to seven factors and requires prevention from eight aspects

The occurrence of pelvic inflammatory disease should be taken seriously, and there are many reasons for illness. We should take reasonable and effective measures to prevent it in our daily lives based on our own situation.

Causes of osteodiscitis

1. Age: According to data, the most common age for 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. Sexual activity: Pelvic inflammatory disease often occurs in women during sexual activity, especially when the first sexual intercourse is young, there are multiple sexual partners, sexual intercourse is frequent, and sexual partners are sexy.

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 sexual hygiene: Physiological intercourse, use of unclean menstrual pads, etc. can invade pathogens and cause inflammation. In addition, low-income groups do not pay attention to sexual health care, and vaginal cleaners have a high incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease.

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.

Causes of pelvic inflammatory disease

1. Exogenous pathogens: mainly pathogens of sexually transmitted diseases, such as Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Others are Mycoplasma hominis, Mycoplasma genitalium and Ureaplasma urealyticum.

2. Endogenous pathogens: come from the microbiota in the vagina, including aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Only aerobic or anaerobic bacteria are infected, but there are more mixed infections of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. The main aerobic bacteria and facultative anaerobic bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus, hemolytic streptococcus, and Escherichia coli. The anaerobic bacteria include Bacteroides fragilis, digestive coccus, and Peptostreptococcus. The characteristic of anaerobic bacterial infection is the easy formation of pelvic abscess, infectious thrombophlebitis, and pus with fecal odor and bubbles.
