What are the clinical manifestations of chronic adnexitis?

We know that people of all ages in life often have symptoms of dysmenorrhea to varying degrees. Some people experience a dull pain, while some even experience severe pain. The harm is very great. And you need to go to a big hospital for further treatment. And will adnexitis cause dysmenorrhea? What are the symptoms?

Generally speaking, adnexitis is a common disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms invading the reproductive organs and causing infection of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. It is divided into acute and chronic types. The symptoms of acute adnexitis are obvious, such as fever, chills, and severe lower abdominal pain. Chronic adnexitis causes varying degrees of abdominal pain, or a feeling of heaviness and pulling in the lower abdomen, which may be mild or severe, accompanied by symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, back pain, and menstrual disorders. Adnexitis is divided into two types: acute and chronic. The two most common symptoms of acute adnexitis are fever and abdominal pain. The fever can be as high as 38°C and may be accompanied by chills.

Abdominal pain often manifests as severe pain on both sides of the lower abdomen, which is aggravated by pressure. Sometimes one side of the lower abdomen hurts more than the other side. Chronic adnexitis does not cause obvious fever and abdominal pain, but only feels soreness or discomfort in the waist, or a feeling of heaviness and pulling in the lower abdomen, which may be light or heavy at times, accompanied by symptoms such as increased leucorrhea and menstrual disorders. A small number of patients only have intestinal symptoms such as abdominal distension and diarrhea, or urinary tract symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency, which may easily make you think of enteritis or urinary tract infection, while the real culprit escapes.

It is divided into acute and chronic types.

1. Acute adnexitis

The symptoms of acute adnexitis are mainly acute lower abdominal pain accompanied by fever. During gynecological examination, there is obvious tenderness and rebound pain in the adnexal area. Routine blood tests can show an increase in white blood cell count and a significantly increased neutrophil ratio. Symptoms of adnexitis: If acute adnexitis is not treated promptly or thoroughly, it may turn into chronic adnexitis.

2. Symptoms of chronic adnexitis

Chronic adnexitis causes abdominal pain of varying degrees. Chronic inflammation recurs over time, causing pelvic congestion, connective tissue fibrosis, and adhesion of pelvic organs. Patients experience symptoms such as lower abdominal distension, pain, and lumbar pain, which may be mild or severe, accompanied by increased vaginal discharge, low back pain, menstrual disorders, etc., and often worsen during menstruation or after fatigue. During gynecological examination, there is tenderness, thickening, or a tender mass in the bilateral or unilateral adnexal area, and the white blood cell count is elevated or normal. It is particularly worth noting that some symptoms of adnexitis are sometimes not very obvious, but because the fallopian tubes and ovaries are adjacent to each other, it is difficult to distinguish them when inflammation occurs.

WeChat Withdrawal: Adnexitis requires active treatment. And once people have chronic inflammation of the fallopian tubes, they need to actively seek treatment. Otherwise, if women do this for a long time, it will be very harmful. It is often more likely to further lead to fallopian tube fibrosis and even cause infertility.
