Treatment of ovarian inflammation in women is the use of many means. This ailment often occurs along with pathologies of the fallopian tubes. Appears mostly in girls of childbearing age. Symptoms are both pronounced and hidden. Treatment of ovarian inflammation includes anti-infective agents, since the disease can be caused by a harmful bacterium (streptococcus, staphylococcus, gonococcus, chlamydia, mycoplasma, etc.).
Causes
Ovarian inflammation occurs as a result of the entry of staphylococcal, streptococcal or other aggressive pathogenic microbacteria and rods.
The route of entry into the ovary will depend on the type of microbe or bacillus. For example, tuberculosis microbacterium enters the ovary in a descending way, from the respiratory organs to the ovaries, and cocci bacilli - upward, namely through the fallopian tubes to the ovaries themselves.
The main causative factors for the development of ovarian inflammation:
- overwork;
- hypothermia;
- weakened immunity;
- the presence of a common infectious disease;
- poor abortion;
- promiscuous sex;
- unbalanced diet.
Symptoms
Symptoms of the development of inflammation of the uterine ovaries are numerous and depend on the type of bacteria involved in the inflammatory process, as well as the stage of the disease.
Therefore, the symptoms and treatment of ovarian inflammation in women are interrelated. There are such manifestations of the disease:
- Pain in the lower pelvis. In this case, the pain can be either constantly aching or throbbing.
- Bleeding or mucous discharge.
- Temperature rise.
- Persistent headaches.
- Nervousness.
- Violations of sexual function.
Diagnostics
In order for ovarian inflammation not to go sadly, it is necessary to start treatment in a timely manner. Since the symptoms may vary, it is difficult to distinguish at what stage the course of the disease is. Therefore, it is necessary to resort to modern methods of diagnosing such inflammations.
The diagnosis can be reliably determined using the following data:
- the presence of previously transmitted inflammation of the pelvic organs;
- laboratory blood counts;
- urine tests for bacteria;
- analysis of vaginal discharge;
- ultrasound diagnostics;
- gynecologist examination;
- the presence of hepatitis, syphilis or HIV viruses.
The following methods of instrumental diagnosis for the presence of inflammation are distinguished:
- Ultrasound diagnostics. With this method, the diagnosis is made by assessing the state of the structure and size of the ovaries.
- Ultrasonic hysterosalpingoscopy. The method consists in assessing changes in the fallopian tubes.
- Laparoscopy. This method is informative, as the uterus, tubes and ovaries are examined.
When antibiotics are prescribed
Treatment of the inflammatory process in the ovaries is necessary to minimize intoxication of the body by pathogenic bacteria, as well as to reduce the symptoms of the disease.
The tactics of antibiotic treatment depend on the severity and duration of the disease. With the right selection and systemic use of antibiotics, a complete recovery is possible.
If incorrect therapy was carried out in the treatment of ovarian inflammation in women, then this will definitely lead to a chronic course of the disease.
The type and type of drugs is prescribed taking into account their tolerance and the reaction of bacteria to their use. Therefore, it is natural that the symptoms of ovarian inflammation and antibiotic treatment of this disease are interrelated. The dose and duration of use will depend on the severity of the disease. Apply general antibiotics. In the presence of acute inflammation, a combination of general and local antibiotics is prescribed.
Locally, antibiotics can be administered with medical suppositories, and general antibiotics are taken orally. Since the use of a combination of several antibiotics leads to the development of dysbiosis, regular use of probiotics is prescribed in the diet. Also, if dysbacteriosis is detected, lactobacilli is introduced into the vagina with the help of medical candles.
Types of drugs
Antibacterial antibiotic therapy is indicated only with clear signs of acute or chronic development of the disease. Treatment of ovarian inflammation with tablets until a pathogen type is detected is not prescribed.
For effective antibiotic therapy of ovarian inflammation, the following series of antibiotics are used:
- Penicillin.
- Metronidazole.
- Moxifloxacin and others.
As mentioned above, the symptoms and treatment of ovarian inflammation are interconnected, so before you start therapy, you should pay attention to the manifestations of the disease in order to identify its causative agent. This is important, since in most cases antibiotic treatment is effective against gonorrhea bacteria. The effectiveness of moxifloxacin is fixed in the treatment of acute forms of ovarian inflammation. But despite this, it does not ensure the complete destruction of pathogenic microbacteria, which becomes the cause of repeated relapses. What type of antibiotic to use depends on the presence of one or another type of pathogen.
Moxifloxacin is a substance used to treat ovarian inflammation. It differs from other drugs by rapid absorption and a prolonged concentration in the tissues of the ovaries.
In Russia, the trade name for the antibiotic is Avelox. With monotherapy, one tablet per day is prescribed for two weeks. However, complex treatment with the drug is also possible. Your doctor will tell you more about therapy.
Azithromycin
The effectiveness of azithromycin is to inhibit the growth of bacteria. An antibiotic is effective in the presence of an acute course of the disease. An effective treatment regimen is the administration of azithromycin intramuscularly in an amount of 500 mg or the use of one gram inside. The therapeutic efficacy of this regimen has been confirmed by research and has led to recovery in 95 percent of cases. At the initial stage of the disease, a single use of azithromycin can lead to a significant reduction in the number of pathogens. Also, an effective scheme is a combination with general antibiotics, for example, with amoxicillin.
Cephalosporins
Antibiotic treatment of ovarian inflammation in women is carried out with the help of cephalosporins, which, with monotherapy, suppress pathogenic microflora better than quinols and azithromycins. Cephalosporins are effective against gonorrhea and cocci bacteria. Therefore, they are prescribed in conjunction with moxifloxacins. An effective treatment regimen is a single administration of the drug intramuscularly in an amount of 400 or 500 mg. If the symptoms of the disease have not passed, then a combination of cephalosporin with other antibiotics is prescribed, since it is possible to develop resistance during the second application. In this case, cephalosporin is prescribed in conjunction with azithromycin.
Aminoglycosides
Aminoglycosides have previously been used to treat severe abscesses. But at this time, their effectiveness is gradually decreasing. Therefore, aminoglycosides with clindamycin are prescribed to patients with a severe course of the disease and the presence of abscesses. Aminoglycosides, without losing their effectiveness, are able to maintain their concentration for a long time, which significantly exceeds the norm for the destruction of the pathogenic pathogen.
Clindamycin
In the treatment of ovarian inflammation, an antibiotic of this group effectively penetrates white blood cells and microphages, and also gives a high concentration in the blood and at the site of inflammation. However, in recent years, more and more cases of antibiotic resistance of strains have been identified. Studies showed immunity in 17 percent of cases, and for those who used this antibiotic without checking for bacterial sensitivity, this figure was 50 percent. Against this background, a combination of clindamycin with ceftriaxone is immediately prescribed.
Candles
Medical candles are used in the treatment of various diseases in women. There are vaginal and rectal types. Also, candles are divided according to their purpose. For the treatment of inflammatory processes of the ovaries, vaginal suppositories are used.
The most commonly used suppository names are:
