Often, pelvic inflammation is the result of the formation of a mixed community of pathogens from different groups.

Diseases of the pelvic organs in women are classified depending on the affected area, and are distinguished:
- Cervix - cervicitis

- External genitalia and vaginal mucosa – vulvovaginitis
- Fallopian tubes and ovaries – adnexitis, salpingoophoritis
- Large vaginal gland – bartholinitis
Reasons for development
Among the factors provoking such pathological conditions of the reproductive system are:
Frequent hypothermia
Decreased body immunity
Penetration of the pathogen through the cervical canal during menstruation
Disruption of the mucosa during intrauterine manipulation, including abortion, placement of an intrauterine device, collection of smears for diagnostics
Surgical interventions in the abdominal cavity or pelvis
Disturbance of the vaginal microflora, for example, with hormonal imbalance (one of the most common causes)
Frequent change of sexual partner with ignoring barrier methods of contraception
Failure to comply with hygiene rules
