What are the sequelae of adnexitis?

If adnexitis is not treated in time, it may cause sequelae such as pelvic adhesions, infertility, and chronic pelvic pain. The key to treating adnexitis is to seek medical treatment in time, use medication in a standardized manner, and adjust your lifestyle.

1. Pelvic Adhesions

If adnexitis is not cured for a long time, inflammation may cause adhesions between the fallopian tubes, ovaries and surrounding tissues, affecting the peristalsis of the fallopian tubes and the egg delivery function, and increasing the risk of ectopic pregnancy. In terms of treatment, doctors may recommend the use of antibiotics such as cephalosporins and metronidazole to control the infection. In severe cases, laparoscopic surgery is required to separate the adhesion tissue.

2. Infertility

Adnexitis may cause blockage or dysfunction of the fallopian tubes, hindering the combination of sperm and egg, leading to infertility. For infertile patients, doctors may recommend tubal intubation or in vitro fertilization. At the same time, Chinese medicine conditioning such as angelica and Chuanxiong can also help improve pelvic blood circulation.

3. Chronic pelvic pain

Repeated attacks of adnexitis may cause chronic pelvic pain and affect the quality of life. In terms of treatment, physical therapy such as hot compresses and infrared irradiation can be used to relieve pain, and Chinese medicine conditioning such as Guizhi Fuling Pills can be used at the same time. Maintaining a good work and rest schedule, avoiding long periods of sitting, and moderate exercise can also help improve symptoms.

The sequelae of adnexitis cannot be ignored. Early detection and treatment are the key. If you experience symptoms such as lower abdominal pain and abnormal vaginal discharge, you should seek medical attention in time to avoid worsening of the condition. The risk of sequelae can be effectively reduced through standardized treatment and adjustment of a healthy lifestyle.
