Treatment of inflammation of the appendages with drugs and folk remedies

What antibiotics to take for inflammation of the appendages? This is a common question. We will understand it in more detail.

Uterus appendages are called ovaries and fallopian tubes located in the pelvis on both sides. Pathogens enter the appendages usually from the vagina or uterus. The process of inflammation is most often caused by staphylococcus, chlamydia or gonococcus. Individual inflammation of the tube or one ovary is very rare. As a rule, the inflammatory process immediately captures both the tubes and the ovaries.

Treatment for inflammation of the appendages should be timely.

Causes of inflammation

Oophoritis is called ovarian inflammation, which is often combined with salpingitis. In medicine, salpingitis is understood as inflammation of the fallopian tubes. The cause of the disease can be various microorganisms, which are usually found in combination. Such microorganisms are highly resistant to antibiotics. Inflammatory uterine tubes are soldered to the ovary, forming a whole inflamed formation. The appearance of pus in the fallopian tubes leads to the destruction of ovarian tissue.

How does inflammation of the appendages in women manifest itself?

Symptomatology

Acute inflammation can occur with pain in the lower abdomen and in the lumbar region. Fever may also occur along with chills and impaired urination. The first signs of inflammation of the appendages are not difficult to recognize.

The most serious complication is the formation of adhesions in the abdominal cavity, and as a result infertility occurs.

If you do not overcome this disease in time, it can become chronic. A similar form of inflammation is manifested, as a rule, by aching pains. They usually occur in the lower abdomen and are accompanied by uncomfortable sensations during sex. Often, sick women experience problems with the menstrual cycle, against which there is a lack of menstruation for a long time. In addition, menstruation can be meager or too painful. The chronic form of inflammation of the appendages can lead to the following extremely adverse consequences:

• The appearance of an ectopic pregnancy.
• Spontaneous abortion.
• The development of obstruction of the fallopian tubes along with problems with ovulation, as a result of which doctors can diagnose infertility.
• The appearance of adhesions.
• The spread of infection to neighboring organs, for example, to the intestines or bladder, which can also cause inflammation in them.

The neglected state of the acute stage of inflammation may result in the development of one of the extremely dangerous complications requiring immediate surgical intervention, we are talking about peritonitis and purulent fusion of the tubes, and, in addition, the uterus’s ovaries.

Disease prognosis

A favorable prognosis against the background of inflammation of the appendages expects a woman only if she promptly consulted a gynecologist at the first symptom of the disease. It is very important that no complications appear during treatment. For example, immediately after suffering chronic adnexitis, and, in addition, as a result of some acute severe forms of the disease (gonorrheal type or tuberculosis), in fifty percent of cases in women infertility occurs. In addition, with the chronic form of inflammation, there are other problems associated with spontaneous abortions, ectopic pregnancy, and so on.

In order not to think about how to remove inflammation of the appendages at home, it is necessary to carry out preventive measures. Chronic adnexitis has a tendency to exacerbate. At the slightest decrease in immunity, all symptoms of inflammation return. This means that even a commonplace cold can worsen a woman’s condition.

In order to prevent a possible exacerbation of the disease, you should adhere to several of the following rules:

• Have only one sexual partner, excluding any accidental intimate relationships.
• Try to avoid the occurrence of an unwanted pregnancy, and, in addition, abortion.
• Try to avoid hypothermia and stress.
• Go to the gynecologist every six months, regularly passing smears.

I must say that inflammation of the ovaries and fallopian tubes is currently a very common problem, but this pathology is successfully and quickly treated, so the main thing is to consult a doctor in a timely manner. It is also important to correctly identify the causes of inflammation of the appendages.
