Causes of adnexitis

The treatment of adnexitis needs to be targeted according to the cause. Common causes include infection, surgical trauma, spread of inflammation to adjacent organs, etc. Treatment methods include antibiotic therapy, physical therapy, and surgical treatment.

1. Infection is one of the main causes of adnexitis. Common pathogens include bacteria, viruses and fungi. Bacterial infections include gonococci and chlamydia, viral infections include herpes simplex virus, and fungal infections include candida. Antibiotic treatment is the main method, and commonly used drugs include cephalosporins, quinolones and macrolide antibiotics. For viral infections, antiviral drugs such as acyclovir may be effective. Fungal infections require the use of antifungal drugs such as fluconazole.

2. Surgical trauma is also a common cause of adnexitis, especially gynecological surgery such as artificial abortion, hysteroscopic surgery, etc. The operation may damage the fallopian tube or ovary, leading to inflammation. Close observation is required after surgery to prevent infection. Physical therapy such as hot compress and infrared irradiation can promote local blood circulation and accelerate the disappearance of inflammation. In severe cases, surgical treatment is required, such as laparoscopic exploration, fallopian tube repair, etc.

3. The spread of inflammation in adjacent organs may also cause adnexitis, such as pelvic inflammatory disease and appendicitis. These inflammations spread to the appendix through lymph or blood, leading to infection. Treatment should be targeted at the primary disease, such as antibiotics for pelvic inflammatory disease and appendectomy for appendicitis. At the same time, local care should be strengthened to prevent further spread of inflammation.

There are many causes of adnexitis, and treatment should be targeted according to the specific cause. Seeking medical attention in time and following the doctor's advice can effectively control the condition and prevent complications.
