Is adnexitis hereditary?

Among the female internal reproductive organs, the fallopian tubes and ovaries are called appendages. In today's society, most women will have some gynecological inflammation, which is very annoying for female friends. The repeated inflammation seriously affects their lives. After a long time, they will worry that adnexitis will lead to heredity. So is it possible that adnexitis is hereditary?

Adnexitis is not hereditary and is not likely to be inherited. It 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.

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 different degrees of abdominal pain, chronic inflammation recurring, prolonged, pelvic congestion, connective tissue fibrosis, pelvic organs adhesion. Patients experience symptoms such as lower abdominal distension, pain and lumbosacral pain, which are sometimes light and sometimes heavy, 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. Some symptoms are sometimes not very obvious, but because the fallopian tubes and ovaries are adjacent, it is difficult to distinguish when inflammation occurs. In particular, chronic inflammation of the fallopian tubes can lead to fibrosis, thickening and obstruction of the fallopian tubes over time, and can also adhere to surrounding tissues. If both ends of the fallopian tubes are blocked, hydrosalpinx can form, and the accumulated water penetrates into the ovaries that are adhered together to form tubal ovarian cysts. It is easy to cause infertility or ectopic pregnancy.
