What are the examination items for adnexitis?

Many female friends do not know much about adnexitis. The symptoms of adnexitis alone are not enough to diagnose the disease, so many people like to diagnose the disease through professional examinations. So what are the examination items for adnexitis? The following is a list of questions about the examination of adnexitis and the preparations before the examination. I hope you will pay attention.

There are two main types of examinations for adnexitis:

1. Observation and palpation

If it is chronic salpingo-oophoritis, the lower abdomen can be palpated during the examination, and there is tenderness. Pelvic examination shows thickening and tenderness on both sides of the uterus, and sometimes an enlarged and fixed cystic mass can be felt. This symptom is chronic adnexitis.

If the doctor observes and palpates the vaginal discharge to be purulent or homogeneous mucous, the adnexal area is tender and painful, and sometimes an inflammatory mass with unclear borders and limited movement can be palpated, it is usually acute fallopian tube and oophoritis. This symptom is acute adnexitis.

2. Adnexitis can also be examined by B-ultrasound

Generally speaking, there are no abnormalities found in B-ultrasound examination, unless there is hydrosalpinx or fallopian tube or ovarian cysts, in which case ultrasound examination may reveal a mass.

In order to achieve better results in adnexitis examination, patients should make necessary preparations before the examination. Specifically, there are the following points:

1. Non-pregnant women should drink plenty of water and hold their urine before having an ultrasound. They can have an ultrasound when their bladder is moderately full and they feel the urge to urinate. This way, the ultrasound will be able to be seen clearly.

2. Women who are three months pregnant are not allowed to hold their urine.

3. During the formal examination, the doctor will ask you to lie flat on the examination bed, exposing your lower abdomen. The doctor will use special instruments to examine you. During the examination, you will feel nothing special except a little discomfort due to holding urine. It should be noted that during the examination, the doctor will apply relevant medicine to the surface area to be examined, so it will feel cold.

Warm reminder: In the above introduction, you have learned a little about adnexitis. Adnexitis is a gynecological inflammation, which is very common. So if you have symptoms of adnexitis, don't panic first. You should diagnose the disease and then conduct targeted examinations. I believe that as long as everyone actively treats it, adnexitis can be cured.
