It aims to achieve complete removal of the affected structures in the pelvis to prevent the spread of cancer.
What is stage II of cervical cancer?
Stage II: Cancer has spread from the cervix but is confined to the pelvic region
What causes pelvic inflammatory disease.?
Normally, the cervix prevents bacteria that enter the vagina from spreading to the internal reproductive organs. If the cervix is exposed to a sexually transmitted disease -- such as gonorrhea and/or chlamydia -- the cervix itself becomes infected and less able to prevent the spread of organisms to the internal organs. PID occurs when the disease-causing organisms travel from the cervix to the upper genital tract. Untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia cause about 90% of all cases of PID. Other causes include abortion, childbirth, and pelvic procedures.
What is a Pelvic exenteration?
Pelvic exenteration is a surgical procedure where the pelvic organs, such as the bladder, rectum, and reproductive organs, are removed due to advanced cancer or other conditions. It is a complex and extensive surgery that aims to remove all diseased tissue in the pelvic region to treat cancer that has spread extensively in the area. It is often considered as a last resort when other treatment options have been exhausted.
What is stage IIIB of cervical cancer?
Stage IIIB: Cancer has spread to the pelvic wall and/or is blocking the flow of urine through the ureters to the bladder
Can herpes cause Pelvic Inflammatory Disease?
It is rare, but possible, to have Pelvic Inflammatory Disease without having an STD. Normally, the cervix prevents bacteria that enter the vagina from spreading to the internal reproductive organs. If the cervix is exposed to a sexually transmitted disease -- such as gonorrhea and/orchlamydia -- the cervix itself becomes infected and less able to prevent the spread of organisms to the internal organs. PID occurs when the disease-causing organisms travel from the cervix to the upper genital tract. Untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia cause about 90% of all cases of PID. Other causes include abortion, childbirth, and pelvic procedures. It is rare, but you can get PID without having an STD. No one is sure why, but normal bacteria found in the vagina and on the cervix can sometimes cause PID.
Can syphilis be transmitted through sharing wigs"?

Is spindle cell sarcoma benign or malignant?
Telengiectatic osteogenic sarcoma is a malignant condition. Telengiectatic ostegenic sarcoma is usually caused by metastasis from pelvic malignancy that has spread to the bone.
Does chlamydia spread in your own body?
Chlamydia can spread from the genitals to higher locations in the reproductive tract. For instance, in a female it can spread from the vagina to the fallopian tubes and pelvis, causing pelvic inflammatory disease. In a male, the infection can spread from the urethra to the epididymis. However, the infection can't spread from your throat to your vagina, or from your eyes to your penis, unless you transmit the bacterium from one location to the other with your hands.
What is chronic salpingitis?
Chronic salpingitis is the inflammation of fallopian tubes, and it may spread locally in your pelvic cavity and cause PID. Always abnormal bleeding, bleeding between menses are symptoms of PID.
Can hepatitis B be spread by sex and can a baby be infected?

Routine vaccination for hepatitis B is recommended for infants to prevent transmission from infected mothers.
How does lymphatic spread take place in krukenberg tumor?
Lymphatic spread in Krukenberg tumor is believed to occur through direct invasion of lymphatic vessels by cancer cells in the ovaries and subsequent spread to regional lymph nodes. The tumor cells may enter the lymphatic vessels in the stroma of the ovary and metastasize to lymph nodes in the pelvic and abdominal regions. This mode of spread can lead to further dissemination of cancer cells to distant sites in the body.
