N70-N77: Inflammatory diseases of female pelvic organs
The group of conditions described under the umbrella term "Inflammatory diseases of female pelvic organs" primarily refers to infections or inflammation occurring in the organs within the pelvic region of women, such as the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and cervix. They are commonly caused by various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, which can invade the body through sexual contact, use of unsterilized medical instruments, or compromised immunity. Common symptoms include lower abdominal pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, irregular menstruation, and sometimes fever. If left untreated, these conditions can evolve and may cause complications, including fertility problems or further systemic issues. While some of these diseases may manifest short-term, others might lead to chronic conditions impacting the overall health of the woman. These conditions pose a significant influence on the female reproductive system and in certain cases, affect their quality of life.
