What are the sequelae of severe adnexitis?

Severe adnexitis may lead to infertility, chronic pelvic pain and other sequelae of reproductive organ infection, which requires timely treatment and professional intervention. Adnexitis is mainly caused by uncontrolled infection, and can be treated with antibiotics, physical therapy and surgical intervention to alleviate or eliminate the symptoms.

1. Infertility: The spread of inflammation from adnexitis can affect the fallopian tubes, causing adhesions or blockages, which is an important cause of infertility. In this case, patients are usually advised to undergo a hysterosalpingography to assess the patency of the fallopian tubes. If blockage is found, antibiotics combined with physical therapy, such as hot compresses or warm drug ion introduction, can be tried to improve inflammation and improve the function of the fallopian tubes. If medication and physical therapy are not effective, surgery is an option, such as tuboplasty or adhesion lysis surgery.

2. Chronic pelvic pain: Severe adnexitis may cause chronic pelvic pain, which usually worsens during the menstrual cycle or sexual intercourse, seriously affecting the quality of life. For chronic pelvic pain, in addition to conventional antibiotic treatment, physical therapy can also be used, such as hot compresses and the use of physical therapy equipment, such as magnetic therapy or ultrashort wave therapy. In addition, appropriate yoga or Pilates exercises can also help relieve chronic pain.

3. Infection of other reproductive organs: The infection may spread to other reproductive organs and cause more serious health problems, such as endometritis and pelvic peritonitis. In order to avoid these complications, in addition to conventional treatment, it is also recommended to maintain a healthy diet and good living habits. For example, increase the intake of nutrients that promote immune function, such as vitamin C and zinc, avoid excessive fatigue, and pay attention to menstrual hygiene.

If adnexitis is not treated in time, it can easily lead to a variety of sequelae, affecting all aspects of life. In order to prevent and reduce the sequelae of adnexitis, we need to be more vigilant about the symptoms of the disease, seek medical advice in time, and have regular checkups to maintain good health. Through reasonable treatment and lifestyle adjustments, the risk of adnexitis and its sequelae can be effectively reduced.
