In addition to sexual intercourse, intrauterine surgery into the internal genitalia, the pelvic inflammatory bacteria can also invade the internal genitalia by other means, so unmarried women still have the possibility of pelvic inflammatory disease! 1. Bad living habits. Such as menstrual bath, it is a common cause. Because the menstrual period has decreased resistance, the lower body is soaked in water, and the pathogenic bacteria in the water can enter the internal genitalia via the vagina. If you swim during menstruation, it is easier for the bacteria in the water to enter the vagina, and then enter the uterus and fallopian tubes to cause inflammation. 2. unclean masturbation. Dirty fingers or dirty instruments are contaminated with pathogenic bacteria, and may even have pathogenic pathogens such as gonococcus and mycoplasma. When using these dirty things to massage the clitoris or insert into the vagina, it is possible to bring germs into the body and cause inflammation. 3. suffering from other diseases. The most common one is appendicitis. If the treatment is delayed, the appendix purulent, inflammatory exudate can flow into the pelvic cavity, causing salpingitis. There is also acute enteritis, the bacteria in the intestine can pass through the lymphatics to the genitals, causing genital inflammation. The pathogen of tuberculosis can flow into the pelvic cavity through the blood; and the intestinal tuberculosis can directly invade the genitals and cause genital tuberculosis. 4. related to vaginal washing. Some women have the habit of washing the vagina frequently. Frequent vaginal washing can change the acidic environment of the vagina, making it unable to resist the invasion of pathogenic bacteria. At the same time, it may also rush the vaginal and cervical pathogenic bacteria into the uterine cavity, causing pelvic inflammatory disease. The risk of occurrence has increased significantly. The University of Washington study reported that the incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease is related to the frequency of vaginal washing. Those who wash the vagina 3 times or more that account per month are 3.6 times are more likely to have pelvic inflammatory disease than those who wash the vagina once a month. 5. related to bacterial vaginosis. 66% of patients with pelvic inflammatory disease have bacterial vaginosis. Therefore, women with bacterial vaginosis should be alert to the occurrence of pelvic inflammatory disease.
