The pathogens of pelvic inflammatory disease are mainly anaerobic bacteria and mycoplasma. These pathogens in the vagina can cause downward transmission to the pelvic cavity if proper hygiene of the external genitalia and sexual hygiene are not maintained, as well as frequent vaginal douching. This can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease.When examining pelvic inflammatory disease, the main considerations are poor hygiene and inflammation caused by infection, which may be related to sexual activity during menstruation. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid spicy and irritating foods. For pelvic inflammatory disease, medications such as metronidazole and penicillin can be administered intravenously to reduce inflammation.
