Patient's question:
I had an episode last year. At that time, after checking at the hospital, I was prescribed medication, which quickly controlled the condition through both topical and oral administration. However, recently, discomfort has returned to my private area, and my leukorrhea is also abnormal with a particularly strong odor. Please advise: How should I treat oophoritis appropriately?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian inflammation is the same as pelvic inflammatory disease in women. It occurs when the ovaries become inflamed due to infection, leading to severe complications such as ovarian adhesions, tightly wrapped fallopian tubes, abscesses, and intestinal obstruction, which can cause infertility. Generally, non-specific ovarian inflammation is divided into acute and chronic types. The harm of ovarian inflammation is typically manifested as pain, infertility, and the occurrence of complications. The specific examination for ovarian inflammation differs between acute and chronic cases, and this requires visiting a hospital. The doctor will select the appropriate treatment based on your condition and the underlying cause.At the same time, women who suffer from ovarian inflammation should pay attention to self-care in daily life. Methods include: maintaining personal hygiene during menstruation and postpartum periods, drinking plenty of water, dietary considerations, avoiding unnecessary gynecological examinations, and refraining from sexual activity during menstruation.
