Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that my private area has been itchy and feels hot, as if it's on fire. Is this a sign of inflammation? Please ask: What are the symptoms of ovarian inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, ovarian inflammation may have the following clinical manifestations:1. Abdominal pain: Lower abdominal pain of varying degrees, mostly in the form of subtle discomfort, accompanied by soreness, swelling, and a sense of heaviness or dragging in the waist and back. It often worsens due to overexertion. In cases of pelvic adhesions, there may be pain during bladder or rectal fullness or emptying, or other bladder/rectal irritation symptoms, such as frequent urination or a feeling of incomplete defecation.
2. Irregular menstruation: The most common symptoms include frequent menstruation and excessive menstrual flow, which may result from pelvic congestion and ovarian dysfunction. Chronic inflammation can lead to uterine fibrosis, incomplete uterine involution, or abnormal uterine positioning due to adhesions, all of which can cause excessive menstrual bleeding.
3. Infertility: The fallopian tubes may be damaged or obstructed, leading to infertility. Secondary infertility is more common, often accompanied by depression.
