The difference between female adnexitis and pelvic inflammatory disease

Adnexitis is a common disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms invading the reproductive organs and causing infection of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to inflammation of the female internal reproductive organs and the surrounding connective tissue and pelvic peritoneum. The pain of adnexitis is mainly located on both sides of the lower abdomen, and there will also be soreness in the waist. Sometimes it is accompanied by increased leucorrhea and irregular menstruation. The pain of pelvic inflammatory disease is mainly in the abdomen, accompanied by fever and increased vaginal secretions. There will also be soreness in the sacrum, and the symptoms will worsen after fatigue and sexual intercourse.

Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to inflammation of the female pelvic reproductive organs and the inflammatory reaction of the surrounding connective tissue and pelvic peritoneum. The common causes of pelvic inflammatory disease are infection after childbirth and abortion, unhygienic habits, sexual life, sexual intercourse during menstruation, etc., which lead to the invasion of pathogens and cause inflammation. Pelvic inflammatory disease includes endometritis, salpingo-oophoritis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation and pelvic membranitis. Due to the deep location of the pelvic cavity, it is difficult to treat and is one of the common gynecological diseases that is difficult to treat.

Adnexitis and pelvic inflammatory disease have many harmful effects. Long-term inflammation damage can cause inflammation of the fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus and surrounding veins, and can also cause the lumen to narrow or close, thus hindering the passage of eggs, sperm or fertilized eggs, leading to infertility. In severe cases, it can even cause sepsis and even endanger life.

Adnexitis refers to inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to inflammation of the pelvic organs and surrounding tissues, including bilateral adnexitis, parauterine connective tissue inflammation, pelvic peritonitis, etc., which is wider than adnexitis. The symptoms of the two diseases are somewhat similar, causing many women to be unable to correctly identify the two inflammations, thus delaying the treatment of the disease.
