Now chronic salpingoophoritis is a common disease of the reproductive system in women. It can occur on its own or become a consequence of acute inflammation of the ovaries and fallopian tubes with untimely or inadequate treatment. The chronic form of the disease can lead to serious consequences if a woman does not consult a doctor.
Infertility, which is caused by obstruction of the pipes, is one of them. It appears as a result of the formation of adhesions in and around them. In addition, chronic salpingoophoritis leads to disruption of the cycle, menstruation can become painful, heavy or scanty.
Women usually with this disease complain of periodic or constant pain in the lower back and abdomen. They are more often pulling in nature. With a two-handed examination, the gynecologist discovers enlarged uterine appendages.
In addition, unilateral and bilateral chronic salpingo-oophoritis help diagnose ultrasound, hysterosalpingography, laparoscopy. During the last procedure, existing adhesions can be dissected and other necessary surgical interventions performed.
In this case, chronic left-sided salpingoophoritis is less common, since uterine appendages are more often inflamed on the right. However, in any case, both are better than a two-way process, in which both fallopian tubes can become impassable. If only one is affected, then a woman can become pregnant without intervention and treatment.
Often, chronic salpingo-oophoritis is accompanied by a decrease in sexual desire and pain during intercourse. With an exacerbation in the blood test, an increase in white blood cells and ESR is observed.
Over time, the nervous system becomes involved . Neurosis occurs, irritability, fatigue increases, working capacity decreases, emotional lability arises . Sometimes there are problems in the functioning of the urinary and digestive systems. If the uterus and vagina are involved in the process, then discharge is observed.
In chronic inflammation of the appendages, antibacterial drugs are used during the period of exacerbation and with its high probability. Vitamin Sedatives, antihistamines and anti-inflammatory drugs are used. Physiotherapeutic treatment such as electrophoresis, mud therapy, UHF, ultrasound, acupuncture is used.
In addition, the patient is recommended spa treatment, psychotherapy, massage, gymnastics, medical nutrition. It is necessary to exclude fatty, smoked, fried foods and allergen products, reduce salt intake. A woman is shown walking in the fresh air and moderate physical activity.
Exacerbations of chronic adnexitis (salpingoophoritis) occur with hypothermia, stress, strong physical and emotional stress, during menstruation or in front of them. The more often they occur, the less favorable the prognosis.
Even if a woman was able to get pregnant with chronic inflammation of the appendages, carrying a child can be complicated. Future mothers with this diagnosis often have miscarriages, premature births, intrauterine infections, implantation of the embryo in the fallopian tube.
Prevention of the occurrence of chronic adnexitis is the timely and adequate treatment of the acute form of the disease. And he, in turn, can be avoided by minimizing the number of abortions, performing them in the early stages with the help of medications.
Prevention after childbirth, the installation of a spiral, diagnostic curettage and other surgical procedures will also reduce the likelihood of adnexitis. In addition, hypothermia and unprotected sex can cause inflammation.
Thus, chronic salpingoophoritis can lead to infertility, ectopic pregnancy, complications during the bearing of a child, pain, neurosis, sexual dysfunction. Its prevention is the timely treatment of an acute process. If a woman is faced with a chronic form of the disease, then constant treatment by a gynecologist is necessary to minimize the number of exacerbations and negative consequences.
