Patient's question:
What are the routes of transmission for pelvic inflammatory disease?What are the routes of transmission for pelvic inflammatory disease, a gynecological disease?
Doctor's answer:
Bacteria, pathogens, and other microorganisms enter the pelvic connective tissues and other parts of the internal reproductive organs through the lymphatic vessels of the vulva, vagina, cervix, and traumatized uterine body. This is the primary transmission route for postpartum infection, post-abortion infection, and infection after intrauterine device (IUD) insertion, commonly involving infections caused by Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, and anaerobic bacteria. The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects women's health but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, dietary adjustments should be made, focusing on light and easily digestible foods, while avoiding spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
