What causes pain in adnexitis?

The cause of adnexitis pain may be related to bacterial infection, pelvic congestion, spread of inflammation or other systemic diseases. The cause must be identified as soon as possible in order to take effective treatment measures.

The occurrence of adnexitis is usually closely related to pathogen infection, especially ascending infection through the vagina. Common pathogens include Escherichia coli, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and anaerobic bacteria. The cause of infection may be multiple artificial abortions, postpartum uterine cavity treatment or unclean sexual life. Long-term sitting, stress, fatigue or poor menstrual hygiene can lead to obstruction of pelvic blood circulation, further aggravating inflammation in the adnexal area. Adhesions after gynecological surgery or other conditions such as endometriosis may also cause irritation of the adnexal tissue, triggering a pain response.

The key to avoiding pain from adnexitis is timely treatment and effective prevention. For acute attacks, drug treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor, such as broad-spectrum antibiotics (such as cephalosporins), anti-anaerobic drugs (metronidazole), etc. In severe cases, surgery may need to be considered to remove abscesses or inflammatory tissues. In daily care, it is also very important to keep the vulva clean, avoid hot and cold stimulation, and not sit for a long time to promote pelvic blood circulation. Similarly, paying attention to regular work and rest, a balanced diet, and strengthening immunity can effectively reduce the recurrence rate of adnexitis. Once abnormal pain or accompanied by fever and increased leucorrhea occurs, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
