Mycoplasma hominis pelvic inflammatory disease

Mycoplasma hominis pelvic inflammatory disease refers to an ascending infectious and inflammatory condition of the upper female genital tract—involving the endometrium, fallopian tubes, ovaries, or pelvic peritoneum—in which the cell wall–deficient bacterium *Mycoplasma hominis* serves as a primary or polymicrobial pathogen

This disorder primarily affects sexually active females of reproductive age, frequently developing when the commensal organism overgrows or ascends from the lower genital tract, often in association with vaginal dysbiosis or bacterial vaginosis Clinically, it presents with lower abdominal or pelvic pain, cervical motion and adnexal tenderness, uterine tenderness, and abnormal discharge Pathophysiologically, the mucosal invasion triggers localized inflammation and tissue damage that, if untreated...

This disorder primarily affects sexually active females of reproductive age, frequently developing when the commensal organism overgrows or ascends from the lower genital tract, often in association with vaginal dysbiosis or bacterial vaginosis Pathophysiologically, the mucosal invasion triggers localized inflammation and tissue damage that, if untreated, can result in purulent exudates, pelvic adhesions, tubal occlusion, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility
