Patient's question:
Before her relative had children, she had never experienced any gynecological problems. However, after giving birth to her child, her relative noticed that her leukorrhea had become abnormal, and she also felt mild pain in her lower abdomen. She went to see a doctor, who said her relative had developed adnexitis. She wonders what the general causes of this condition are?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, appendicitis is a type of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which involves pathogens invading the external genitalia, vagina, or spreading along the cervical mucosa, endometrium, and fallopian tube mucosa from the vagina. It is the main infection route for pelvic inflammatory disease during non-pregnancy. Pelvic inflammatory disease often occurs in sexually active women and is associated with lower genital tract infections, infections after intrauterine surgery, poor sexual hygiene, and direct spread of inflammation from adjacent organs.
