What Causes Chronic Inflammation in the Female Reproductive System?
Several factors can contribute to chronic inflammation in gynecology:
- Infections: Persistent infections such as Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) caused by sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like chlamydia and gonorrhea. - Autoimmune Disorders: Conditions like endometriosis and lupus can cause chronic inflammatory responses. - Chronic Irritation: Prolonged use of certain intrauterine devices (IUDs) or exposure to irritants. - Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can also contribute to chronic inflammation.
