How is pelvic inflammatory disease caused

Patient's question:

I am a 69-year-old woman who has been feeling very tired for a while. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I found out that I had an illness. Please ask: How does pelvic inflammatory disease occur?

Doctor's answer:

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is primarily caused by infections, so the most common reason is poor personal hygiene, especially after menstruation or sexual activity, which allows pathogens to proliferate. In addition, certain uterine procedures, particularly D&C (dilation and curettage) and the use of intrauterine devices (IUDs), can also contribute to the condition. Other factors include postpartum infections and the spread of other inflammatory conditions.
Then, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it's important to stay in a good mood, eat light, soft, and easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more fruits and vegetables.
