What are the early symptoms of ovarian inflammation?

Patient's question:

Since a year ago, when ovarian inflammation was carefully diagnosed, I have been running around various hospitals, taking many medications, but there has been no improvement at all. My friend suggested spending money to have surgery. I would like to ask, what are the early symptoms of ovarian inflammation?

Doctor's answer:

1. Acute cases may present with fever, abdominal pain (dull pain without radiation to other areas), lumbosacral pain, and a sense of rectal fullness.
2. In chronic cases, the symptoms are often masked within chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, such as lumbosacral discomfort and aching, rectal fullness, poor appetite, generalized fatigue and weakness, poor mental state, changes in menstruation (most commonly an increase in menstrual flow), and even lower abdominal masses.
Gynecological examination: Acute cases may show lower abdominal tenderness and guarding, rebound tenderness, cervical motion tenderness, a rounded posterior fornix, and sometimes palpable, poorly defined, soft masses in the adnexal region. Chronic cases may present with lower abdominal tenderness, adnexal thickening, or even masses.
The recurrence of oophoritis poses a serious threat to women's health. Patients must pay attention to avoiding sexual activity during treatment.
