What are the symptoms and dangers of adnexitis?

Adnexitis refers to the inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. It can be divided into acute adnexitis and chronic adnexitis. Adnexitis has many hazards and poses a great threat to women's health. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the symptoms and hazards of adnexitis and do a good job of prevention!

What are the common symptoms of adnexitis?

1. Menstrual irregularities: Frequent and heavy menstruation are very common after suffering from adnexitis. It is generally believed that this is caused by pelvic congestion or ovarian dysfunction, especially chronic inflammation, which may affect uterine function and cause varying degrees of menstrual irregularities.

2. Dysmenorrhea: After suffering from adnexitis, the pelvic cavity often becomes congested, which in turn causes dysmenorrhea due to blood stasis. Half of the patients will have vague abdominal pain symptoms one week before the menstrual period, and the closer to the menstrual period, the more severe the pain is, and it usually lasts until the menstrual period.

3. Abdominal pain: The most common symptom of adnexitis is abdominal pain, but the degree of abdominal pain varies from person to person. It is usually dull pain, accompanied by soreness, swelling, and a feeling of falling in the lower back, back, and sacrum. The symptoms of abdominal pain may worsen after fatigue.

4. Other symptoms: After suffering from adnexitis, due to pelvic adhesions, the bladder will be stimulated, and bladder irritation symptoms such as frequent urination will appear. In addition, there may be increased vaginal discharge, pain during sexual intercourse, gastrointestinal disorders, fatigue, labor interference or intolerance to long-term labor, neurological symptoms and depression.

Dangers of adnexitis

1. Cause infertility: Chronic salpingitis that is not cured for a long time can cause adhesion of the mucosa in the fallopian tube, resulting in blockage of the fallopian tube. When the fimbria of the fallopian tube adheres due to inflammation, hydrosalpinx may occur, leading to secondary infertility.

2. Leading to ectopic pregnancy: If chronic salpingitis causes incomplete blockage of the fallopian tube lumen, it is easy to increase the chance of ectopic pregnancy (ectopic pregnancy).

3. Damage to ovarian function: The ovaries are one of the most important sexual organs that distinguish women from men. Adnexitis can not only cause female infertility and weaken and disappear secondary sexual characteristics, but can also directly cause endocrine disorders, lead to skin aging, and steal a woman's beautiful face.
