Does adnexitis affect menstruation?

Adnexitis can have a great impact on women, especially acute adnexitis, which can also cause abdominal pain in patients. So, what is the answer to the question that women are more concerned about: "Does adnexitis affect menstruation?" In fact, adnexitis can cause irregular menstruation, and in severe cases, infertility. Therefore, when symptoms of adnexitis appear in the body, seek medical attention immediately.

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 adnexal area on both sides or one side, and the white blood cell count is elevated or normal. Some symptoms are sometimes not very obvious, but because the fallopian tubes and ovaries are adjacent to each other, it is difficult to distinguish when inflammation occurs. In particular, chronic inflammation of the fallopian tubes can lead to fibrosis, thickening and blockage of the fallopian tubes over time, and may also cause adhesion to surrounding tissues. If both ends of the fallopian tube are blocked, hydrosalpinx may form, and the accumulated water will penetrate into the ovaries that are adhered together, forming ovarian cysts. It can easily cause infertility or ectopic pregnancy.

Adnexitis is a common disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms invading the reproductive organs and causing infection of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. This disease can occur in both unmarried and married women, and is often associated with pelvic connective tissue inflammation clinically. Adnexitis can cause fallopian tube atresia, leading to infertility and inducing other complications.

treat

1. Medication

Appropriate anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for symptomatic treatment.

2. Surgery

If conservative treatment is ineffective for acute adnexitis, surgical treatment should be considered. If chronic adnexitis cannot be cured for a long time and hydrosalpinx is formed, surgical treatment should also be chosen.

3. Physical therapy

There are many types of physical therapy, such as laser, microwave, iontophoresis, etc.

Among the female internal reproductive organs, the fallopian tubes and ovaries are called appendages. Adnexitis refers to inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. However, fallopian tube and oophoritis are often accompanied by parametrial connective tissue inflammation and pelvic peritonitis, and are difficult to distinguish during diagnosis. Among pelvic organ inflammations, salpingitis is the most common. Due to the proximity of anatomical sites, salpingitis, oophoritis and pelvic peritonitis often coexist and affect each other.
