How is pelvic inflammatory disease caused? Prevention requires preventing four pathways of infection

Osteoarthritis is a familiar gynecological disease that is particularly common, but we should also pay attention to it, not only knowing its causes, but also knowing how to prevent it in daily life.

How does discitis occur

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 reproductive tract infection: Lower reproductive tract infection is closely related to the occurrence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae cervicitis, chlamydia 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: Sexual intercourse during menstruation and the use of unclean menstrual pads can cause pathogens to invade and cause inflammation. In addition, low-income groups do not pay attention to sexual health care, and those who undergo vaginal flushing have a high incidence of pelvic inflammatory diseases.

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 osteodiscitis

1. Exogenous pathogens: mainly pathogens of sexually transmitted diseases, such as Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Other pathogens include 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 and facultative anaerobic bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus hemolyticus, and Escherichia coli; Anaerobic bacteria include Bacteroides fragilis, Streptococcus digestus, and Streptococcus digestus. The characteristic of anaerobic bacterial infection is the easy formation of pelvic abscess, infectious thrombophlebitis, and pus with fecal odor and bubbles.
