Genetic problems with adnexitis

Among the female internal reproductive organs, the fallopian tubes and ovaries are extremely important. They are also important organs that determine whether a woman can become pregnant. So, can she still get pregnant after suffering from adnexitis? Is adnexitis hereditary? Let's take a look at the genetic issues of adnexitis.

Adnexitis is not hereditary. If it is not treated for a long time, it can directly lead to inflammation and blockage of the fallopian tubes, causing infertility after marriage or ectopic pregnancy and other bad consequences. Therefore, the harm of adnexitis is very serious.

Adnexitis is a common disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms invading the reproductive organs and causing infection of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. This disease can occur in both unmarried and married women, and is often accompanied by pelvic connective tissue inflammation in clinical practice. Adnexitis can cause fallopian tube atresia, leading to infertility and inducing other complications.

Clinical manifestations

Clinically it is divided into acute and chronic types.

1. Acute adnexitis

The main symptom is 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 can turn into chronic adnexitis.

2. Chronic adnexitis

There are varying degrees of abdominal pain. Chronic inflammation recurs over time, causing pelvic congestion, connective tissue fibrosis, and adhesions of pelvic organs. Patients experience symptoms such as lower abdominal distension, pain, and lumbosacral pain, which are sometimes light and sometimes severe, accompanied by increased vaginal discharge, back pain, and menstrual disorders, which often worsen during menstruation or after fatigue. During gynecological examinations, there is tenderness, thickening, or tender masses in the bilateral or unilateral adnexal areas, and the white blood cell count is elevated or normal. Some symptoms are sometimes not very obvious, 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 can lead to fibrosis, thickening, and obstruction 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 penetrates into the ovaries that are adhered together to form tubal ovarian cysts, which can easily cause infertility or ectopic pregnancy.
