Adnexitis cyst

The appendages are a very important part of the female reproductive system. They are located near the uterus and ovaries and are the basis for maintaining the healthy functioning of the reproductive system. Modern women face greater health pressure in their lives and are prone to reproductive system diseases, which cause great damage to women's fertility and health. For example, adnexitis cyst is one of the common diseases. What is adnexitis cyst?

Adnexitis is a common and frequently occurring disease among women. Some women are not very clear about the symptoms of adnexitis. Its symptoms are very easy to see. If a woman finds that she has the following symptoms, she must go to the hospital for examination in time.

There are two types of adnexitis: acute and chronic

1. Acute adnexitis

The main symptom is 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. Chronic adnexitis

There are abdominal pains 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 adnexal area on both sides or one side, and the white blood cell count is elevated or normal. Some symptoms may not be very obvious sometimes, 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 a fallopian tube ovarian cyst. It can easily cause infertility or ectopic pregnancy.
