What causes right lateral adnexitis?

Right-sided adnexitis is usually caused by a bacterial infection, which can occur with pelvic inflammatory disease, sexually transmitted diseases, or post-operative infection. Treatments include antibiotic therapy, physical therapy, and surgical intervention.

1. Genetic factors

Although adnexitis itself is not a hereditary disease, certain genetic factors may increase the risk of infection. For example, individuals with a weaker immune system are more susceptible to bacterial invasion, leading to inflammation. People with a family history of pelvic inflammatory disease or adnexitis should pay more attention to personal hygiene and regular physical examinations.

2. Environmental factors

Unclean sex, use of unhygienic sanitary products or prolonged exposure to a humid environment may increase the risk of infection. Sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea or chlamydia are common causes. It is recommended to maintain personal hygiene, avoid unclean sex, use clean sanitary products, and keep the private parts dry.

3. Physiological factors

During menstruation, after childbirth or after miscarriage, women's body resistance decreases and they are more susceptible to infection. Long-term stress and irregular work and rest may also lead to decreased immunity and increase the risk of inflammation. Maintaining good living habits, exercising properly, and enhancing immunity are important measures to prevent adnexitis.

4. Trauma

Pelvic surgery, abortion surgery, or intrauterine contraceptive device placement may cause infection and lead to adnexitis. Improper postoperative care or incomplete disinfection of instruments are common causes. Postoperative care should be strictly followed according to the doctor's instructions to avoid infection.

5. Pathological factors

Pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis or other gynecological diseases may spread to the adnex and cause inflammation. Chronic inflammation may worsen if not treated in time. Regular gynecological examinations and timely detection and treatment of related diseases are the key to preventing adnexitis.

Treatments include:

1. Antibiotic treatment: Commonly used drugs such as cephalosporins, metronidazole, etc., need to choose appropriate antibiotics based on the results of bacterial culture.

2. Physical therapy: such as hot compress, infrared irradiation, etc., can relieve pain and promote the absorption of inflammation.

3. Surgical treatment: For severe cases, such as abscess formation or ineffective drug treatment, laparoscopic surgery or open surgery may be required.

The prevention and treatment of right adnexitis need to start from many aspects, including improving living habits, paying attention to personal hygiene, and timely treatment of related diseases. If symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever or abnormal secretions occur, you should seek medical attention in time to avoid worsening of the condition. Through scientific treatment and prevention measures, adnexitis can be effectively controlled to protect women's health.
