What are the causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been feeling uncomfortable downstairs, with an unbearable itch that I can't scratch. Sometimes when I urinate, I see long white discharge. Today, I took the time to go to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor carefully examined me and said it's acute pelvic inflammatory disease. I'm quite careful about hygiene during sex. What are the causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease?

Doctor's answer:

There are several causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease, such as the destruction of a woman's natural defense mechanisms, changes in the endocrine system, which can lead to the recurrence of inflammation, infections after childbirth or induced abortion, and poor hygiene during menstruation, among others. Additionally, during the treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must pay close attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm.
