What Causes Pelvic Inflammatory Disease?
How PID develops?
The first part to be infected by mycoplasma and chlamydia is cercix uteri, and then cervicitis occurs. The infection would then spread to the pelvic cavity and lead to pelvic infection. Female pelvic cavity includes womb, fallopian tube, ovary, pelvic peritoneum and the connective tissue near the overy. The infection of those part is called pelvic inflammatory disease. The ovary is quite closed to the fallopian tube, so the infection of fallopian tube would cause ovaritis. As a result, fallopian tube infection combine with ovaritis, that is salpingo-ovaritis or we call it annexitis. Damage to the ovary can cause the menstrual disorder, ovulation failure, fallopian tube spindylosis and blockage, and infertility in the end.
As the ovaries are quite close to fallopian tubes, salpingitis can lead to ovaritis. Therefore, ovaritis is associated with salpingitis, which is known as salpingo-ovaritis or annexitis.
The disease or lesion of ovaries can cause irregular menstruation, ovulation failure and adhesions of fallopian tubes, thereby causing infertility in women.
Salpingo-ovaritis is often associated with inflammation of ovarian connective tissue, pelvic peritonitis and chronic salpingitis.
The recurrent chronic inflammations can lead to pelvic congestion and fiberization of the connective tissues, thereby causing adhesions of organs in pelvic cavity. The adhesions will lead to tubal distal adhesions, tubal uplift, curved fallopian tubes and adhesion of ovaries, thereby resulting in infertility.
As a result, once one orgen/tissue in women’s reproductive system is inflamed or infected, organs nearby may be affected. This is how PID develops.
