Does pelvic inflammatory disease have anything to do with sexual life?

Patient's question:

Pelvic inflammatory disease absorbs water, the reasons you mentioned, I pay attention to them. Will a girl get pelvic inflammatory disease? Can having sex lead to it?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the relationship between pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and sexual activity:
1. Unhygienic sexual practices: In daily life, if personal hygiene is not paid attention to, combined with improper behavior and activities, exogenous pathogens can easily invade.
2. Excessive sexual frequency: Women of childbearing age have relatively active sexual function, and excessive sexual frequency can disrupt the balance of the vaginal flora.
3. Early sexual activity: Many women engage in sexual activity at the age of 14 or 15, lacking knowledge of sexual health, making them relatively more susceptible to pathogens.
4. Multiple sexual partners: Having two or more partners within a certain period increases the opportunity for pathogens to invade and also leads to cross-infection.
