What causes adnexitis?

Adnexitis is mainly caused by infection, decreased immunity, bad living habits and other factors. Treatment requires taking measures such as anti-infection, enhancing immunity and adjusting lifestyle according to the cause. Infection is the most common cause, including invasion of bacteria, viruses or fungi; decreased immunity makes it difficult for the body to resist pathogens; bad living habits such as long-term sitting and irregular diet can also induce inflammation.

1. Infection is the main cause of adnexitis. Bacterial infections such as Escherichia coli and gonococci enter the adnexal area through sexual contact or ascending infection, causing inflammation. Viral infections such as herpes simplex virus may also cause adnexitis. Fungal infections are more common in people with low immunity. To prevent infection, you need to pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid unclean sexual behavior, and have regular gynecological examinations.

2. Decreased immunity increases the risk of adnexitis. Long-term stress, lack of sleep, malnutrition and other factors can weaken the immune system and make it difficult for the body to resist pathogens. Immunity can be enhanced through a balanced diet, regular work and rest, and moderate exercise. Supplementing nutrients such as vitamin C and zinc can also help improve immunity.

3. Bad living habits are one of the causes of adnexitis. Sitting for a long time will lead to poor blood circulation in the pelvis and increase the risk of inflammation. Irregular diet and high-sugar and high-fat diet will affect endocrine balance and indirectly induce adnexitis. Adjusting lifestyle, avoiding sitting for a long time, maintaining a regular diet, and reducing the intake of high-sugar and high-fat foods can help prevent adnexitis.

Treatment of adnexitis requires targeted measures based on the specific cause. Adnexitis caused by infection requires antibiotics, antiviral or antifungal drugs, such as cephalosporins, acyclovir, fluconazole, etc. People with weakened immunity can improve their physical fitness through immunomodulatory drugs or nutritional supplements. Lifestyle adjustments include avoiding long periods of sitting, eating regularly, and exercising moderately. For severe cases, surgical treatment may be required, such as laparoscopic surgery to remove the infection focus.

Prevention and treatment of adnexitis require comprehensive consideration of factors such as infection, immunity and lifestyle. Timely medical treatment, standardized treatment and lifestyle adjustments can effectively control inflammation and avoid complications. Maintaining good personal hygiene habits and enhancing immunity are the keys to preventing adnexitis. Regular gynecological examinations can help detect and treat adnexitis early and ensure women's health.
