What are the symptoms of adnexitis?

What are the characteristics of adnexitis symptoms? Many people in life do not know what adnexae are. Among the female internal reproductive organs, the fallopian tubes and ovaries are called adnexae, and adnexitis, as the name suggests, refers to the inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. Clinically, it is mainly divided into acute adnexitis and chronic adnexitis. So, what are the characteristics of adnexitis symptoms? Let's find out.

1. Acute adnexitis: mainly acute lower abdominal pain, accompanied by fever. During gynecological examination, there is obvious tenderness and rebound pain in the adnexal area. Routine blood tests show an increase in white blood cell count and a significant increase in the proportion of neutrophils. If acute adnexitis is not treated in time or thoroughly, it may turn into chronic adnexitis.

2. Chronic adnexitis: There are different degrees of abdominal pain. Chronic inflammation recurs and lasts for a long time, causing pelvic congestion, connective tissue fibrosis, and adhesion of pelvic organs. Patients experience symptoms such as lower abdominal distension, pain, and lumbar pain, which are sometimes mild and sometimes severe, accompanied by increased leucorrhea, back pain, menstrual disorders, etc., and often worsen during menstruation or after fatigue. During gynecological examination, there is tenderness, thickening, or tender masses in the bilateral or unilateral adnexal area, and the white blood cell count is elevated or normal.

3. Some symptoms are not very obvious sometimes, but because the fallopian tubes and ovaries are adjacent, it is difficult to distinguish when inflammation occurs. Especially chronic inflammation of the fallopian tubes, over time it can lead to fibrosis, thickening and blockage of the fallopian tubes, and can also adhere to surrounding tissues. If both ends of the fallopian tubes are blocked, hydrosalpinx may form, and the accumulated water may penetrate into the ovaries that are adhered together, forming ovarian cysts, which can easily cause infertility or ectopic pregnancy.

Adnexitis will not be cured immediately by medication, but the symptoms of adnexitis will gradually ease. Medication is very important in adnexitis care, and the medication mainly uses some Chinese patent medicines. When taking these medications, patients with adnexitis must continue to take them for at least one month. Do not stop taking medication when you think the symptoms of adnexitis have eased, otherwise it will recur soon.

When treating adnexitis, the care of adnexitis should also actively treat the lower reproductive tract infection. Vaginitis and cervicitis may cause the pathogens of adnexitis to ascend. If you have an IUD, you can consider removing it. The body is the capital of the revolution, so no matter what, it is most important to protect your body. Only with a good body can you have a good life.
