What is adnexitis?

Adnexitis may cause symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, increased vaginal discharge, irregular menstruation, and fever. In severe cases, it may be accompanied by lumbar pain or infertility. Therefore, once these symptoms appear, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible to get a clear diagnosis and receive targeted treatment.

Adnexitis is mainly caused by inflammation of the fallopian tubes, ovaries and other accessory parts of women due to infection by pathogens. In acute adnexitis, the symptoms may be more obvious, including persistent or paroxysmal pain in the lower abdomen, which may be accompanied by fever and chills. Some people will have gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Chronic adnexitis is more likely to cause dull pelvic pain, back pain, etc., or worsening symptoms before and after menstruation, accompanied by abnormal increase in leucorrhea or lower abdominal distension. Severe symptoms may affect the reproductive system, leading to the risk of infertility and even ectopic pregnancy. Early identification of disease manifestations is crucial.

To prevent and relieve adnexitis, you should pay attention to personal hygiene, especially to avoid infection during menstruation, postpartum and postoperative periods, and avoid excessive fatigue and eating raw and cold food to improve your immunity. Once diagnosed, inflammation can be treated with medication (such as cephalosporin antibiotics, metronidazole, etc.), physical therapy (such as infrared therapy, ultrashort wave therapy) and surgical drainage. In your daily diet, it is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, and consume a moderate amount of high-quality protein foods such as eggs and warming ingredients such as red dates to enhance the body's recovery ability. If the symptoms do not improve or worsen, you should return for another visit and follow the doctor's instructions for the next step.
