Patient's question:
In the past few months, my menstrual cycle has been irregular. Sometimes I only get my period once every two months. My vaginal discharge has also increased compared to before. I often have a dull pain in my lower abdomen. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said it could be a symptom of adnexitis. Can my husband's infidelity bring back gynecological diseases?Doctor's answer:
Chronic appendicitis sometimes has symptoms that are not very obvious, but because the fallopian tubes and ovaries are adjacent, it is difficult to distinguish when inflammation occurs. Especially chronic inflammation of the fallopian tubes, over time, it can lead to fibrosis of the fallopian tubes, making them thicker and blocked. It can also cause adhesions with surrounding tissues. If both ends of the fallopian tubes are closed, it can form fallopian tube hydrops. The hydrops can penetrate into the ovary that is, forming an ovarian cyst. This can easily cause infertility or ectopic pregnancy.
