What to do for symptoms of appendicitis

Adnexitis usually requires ultrasound examination, vaginal secretion culture and blood test to confirm the diagnosis. Seeking medical attention and receiving formal examinations in time is the first step to clarify the condition, so do not delay.

Adnexitis is an inflammation of the female reproductive system, mainly occurring in the fallopian tubes and ovaries. Common symptoms include lower abdominal pain, increased vaginal discharge with odor, menstrual disorders, and lower back pain. The infection may be caused by ascending bacterial infection and is often related to sexual activity, intrauterine surgery, etc.

During the examination, the doctor usually first palpates the pelvis to determine whether there is tenderness and inflammation. Ultrasound examination can help to see whether there are abnormalities in the adnexal structures, such as thickening of the fallopian tubes or ovarian cysts. Vaginal secretion culture can identify the pathogen and guide the choice of antibiotics. Blood tests are used to understand the degree of inflammation, such as whether C-reactive protein or white blood cell count is elevated.

To prevent and treat adnexitis, it is recommended to maintain good personal hygiene, especially during menstruation and after sexual intercourse. Avoid repeated abortions or unauthorized instrumentation to reduce the risk of reproductive system infection. If symptoms appear or recur, go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to avoid delays that may lead to serious consequences such as infertility.
