What causes right groin pain in women?

The groin is close to our sexual organs. If there is a problem with the groin, it will cause serious damage to our body. Some female friends may experience right groin pain, so what exactly causes it? There are many different causes of right groin pain, but the most likely cause is adnexitis.

In the female reproductive organs, the bilateral fallopian tubes, uterus and ovaries are called uterine appendages. Adnexitis refers to inflammation of the bilateral fallopian tubes, uterus and ovaries. However, bilateral fallopian tube and oophoritis are often combined with parametrial connective tissue inflammation and pelvic peritonitis, and it is not easy to distinguish them during diagnosis. Among pelvic organ inflammations, salpingitis is the most common. Due to their anatomical proximity, salpingitis, oophoritis, and pelvic peritonitis often coexist and affect each other.

1. Subacute adnexitis. The main symptom is subacute lower abdominal pain, accompanied by fever. During gynecological examination, there is obvious tenderness and rebound pain in the adnexal area. Routine blood examination can show an increase in white blood cell count and a significant increase in the proportion of neutrophil count. Adnexitis symptoms, if subacute adnexitis is not treated promptly or incompletely, it may turn into chronic adnexitis.

2. Chronic adnexitis. There are abdominal pain of varying degrees, repeated inflammation, and prolonged duration, causing pelvic congestion, connective tissue fibrosis, and adhesion of pelvic organs. Patients experience symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, pain, and lumbar pain, which may be mild or severe, accompanied by excessive vaginal discharge, low back pain, menstrual disorders, etc., and are usually aggravated during menstruation or after fatigue. During gynecological examination, there is tenderness, thickening, or tender lumps in the adnexal area on both sides or one side, and the white blood cell count is increased or normal. Some symptoms are sometimes not very obvious, but because the fallopian tubes and uterus and ovaries are close to each other, it is not easy to distinguish when inflammation occurs. Especially inflammation of the bilateral fallopian tubes, over time can cause fibrosis of the bilateral fallopian tubes, enlargement and thickening, blockage, and adhesion to surrounding tissues. If both sides of the fallopian tubes are blocked, hydrosalpinx may occur, and the accumulated water will penetrate into the uterus and ovaries that are adhered together, causing bilateral fallopian tube cysts. It may easily lead to infertility or ectopic pregnancy.
