Female appendages include the ovaries (left and right) and fallopian tubes. According to medical data, adnexitis is the most common disease. The inflammatory process can be one-sided and two-way, its provocateur most often are viruses and harmful microorganisms. The mass of unpleasant phenomena is delivered by the frozen appendages.
Symptoms may be hidden or appear after a certain time. Often, a woman has pain in the abdomen and lower back. According to doctors, in 60% of cases, adnexitis cause chlamydia and gonococcus. Also often the culprits of inflammation are mycobacterium tuberculosis, herpes and E. coli. Less commonly, the disease is caused by infections that are transmitted exclusively through sexual contact (Trichomonas and ureaplasma).
Before starting treatment, it is necessary to identify the true cause of adnexitis. In no case should you run clogged appendages. Symptoms of ovarian inflammation are manifested by unbearable pain that occurs during intercourse, menstruation, or physical stress. Unpleasant sensations are often given to the sacrum and perineum.
Causes and signs of congestive appendages
- Frequent intravaginal douching violates the microflora and acidity of the vagina, thereby giving a "green light" to pathogenic bacteria.
- The use of an intrauterine device increases the risk of inflammation.
- Sexual relationships during the menstrual cycle contribute to the penetration of microbes into the appendages and fallopian tubes.
- Postponed surgical interventions or inflammatory processes of the pelvic organs.
- illegibility in intimate relationships and unprotected sex with a large number of men increase the likelihood of adnexitis.
- After an abortion, women complain of congealed appendages.
Symptoms manifest as general malaise, weakness, fever, tingling in the pelvic area. Menses become painful and profuse. Their cycle and duration are broken. With inflammation of the fallopian tubes or ovaries, purulent discharge may occur.
In acute adnexitis, dizziness, chills, constipation, vomiting and nausea appear. The clinical picture is enhanced by physical exertion, overstrain, hypothermia and during sex. With untimely initiation of therapy, inflammation will pass into the chronic stage. Only a doctor at a gynecological examination will be able to identify congestive appendages.
Symptoms for chronic inflammation are as follows: the patient develops shooting pains in the anus, groin, lower abdomen and sacrum. Menstrual problems begin. This form of adnexitis is dangerous with complications - obstruction of the tubes and the appearance of adhesions, which often becomes the cause of infertility. Health should not be risked, it is necessary to undergo a complete diagnosis if a woman has caught an appendage.
How to treat adnexitis?
If the infection became the cause of the inflammation, the doctor will prescribe antibiotics (Erythromycin, Metronidazole and others). Physiotherapeutic procedures (ultrasound, paraffin baths, electrophoresis, etc.), vitamins and immunomodulators cannot be dispensed with. With severe pain, pain medications are prescribed.
Mud treatment and hydrogen sulfide baths are good for adnexitis. It is not worth it to conduct therapy yourself, using alternative methods, since you do not know the exact cause of the disease and can aggravate the situation.
