Experts' reminder: married women are more likely to suffer from adnexal inflammation
Adnexal inflammation refers to the inflammation of fallopian tubes and ovaries, one of the common gynecological inflammations in women. However, the inflammation of fallopian tubes and ovaries is often combined with pelvic connective tissue inflammation and pelvic peritonitis, which are also difficult to distinguish during diagnosis. Therefore, pelvic peritonitis and pelvic connective tissue inflammation are also classified as adnexal inflammation. Clinical statistics show that the probability of married women suffering from adnexal inflammation is much higher than that of unmarried women.
Then, why are married women more likely to suffer from adnexal inflammation?
Gynecologists introduced that the adnexal inflammation suffered by married women is mainly related to sexual life and activities related to sexual life; besides, contraceptive devices, abortion or delivery, etc., are also reasons for married women to be easily affected by adnexal inflammation.
[1] Breaking the "red light": having sex during menstruation will bring bacteria into the body. Having sex during menstruation is not only an inducement of adnexal inflammation but also a common inducement of other gynecological inflammations.
[2] Sexually transmitted infection: pathogenic bacteria spread along the mucosa, causing infection and inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries.
[3] Intrauterine device (IUD): lack of personal hygiene opens a convenient door for bacterial invasion. It should be noted that the placement of IUD itself does not directly lead to adnexal inflammation, and inflammation only occurs when there is no strict sterile operation during the placement of IUD or when personal hygiene is poor after the placement. One must choose a regular gynecological hospital for the insertion of IUD.
[4] Childbirth or abortion: decreased resistance allows pathogens to infect upward through the reproductive tract and spread to the fallopian tubes and ovaries, then affecting the entire pelvis.
Although the probability of married women suffering from adnexal inflammation is higher than that of unmarried women, this does not mean that unmarried women are absolutely safe. Because, apart from sexual life and related activities, there are many other ways that can cause adnexal infections.
[1] Unscientific external genital cleaning: such as washing the anus first and then the vulva, it will bring bacteria from the anus into the vagina, or taking a bath during menstruation, etc., pathogens may invade upward into the internal reproductive organs.
[2] Wearing tight pants frequently: the perineum is not breathable, and vaginal discharge accumulates, leading to inflammation and inducing adnexal inflammation.
[3] Sitting for a long time: lack of activity. Poor blood circulation leads to obstructed venous return. Due to the special anatomical structure of the pelvis, the blood return situation is even worse, affecting the normal detoxification function of the uterus and its appendages. If there are other influencing factors at the same time, inflammation is very likely to occur.
Experts remind: female friends should develop good living habits and sexual habits, pay attention to genital cleanliness, but moderately, change underwear frequently, pay attention to sexual hygiene, and avoid bacterial infections. Once adnexal inflammation occurs, one should go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment as early as possible.
