Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my lower abdomen and soreness in my waist. Additionally, I've been experiencing discomfort in my private area, with itching and burning, especially in the afternoon, which is truly unbearable. Please ask: How can I treat oophoritis?Doctor's answer:
1. Acute appendicitis: Lower abdominal pain, decreased body temperature, increased white blood cells. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish from acute oophoritis, but the pain characteristics of acute appendicitis are initially upper abdominal or periumbilical pain, later localized to the right lower abdomen. McBurney's point is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting. Although accompanied by fever, it generally does not exceed 38°C. A careful abdominal examination shows relatively tense abdominal muscles, tenderness and rebound tenderness in the McBurney's point area. Gynecological examination reveals no abnormalities in the reproductive organs.2. Ruptured ectopic pregnancy: Lower abdominal pain, anal fullness. During examination, there is tenderness and rebound tenderness throughout the abdomen, especially when the pregnancy test is negative and vaginal bleeding is minimal, it is easily confused with acute oophoritis. However, this condition has a history of amenorrhea, and the pain is sudden and severe, like a knife cut, initially localized to one side and gradually spreading to the entire abdomen. Fever is generally absent or only low-grade. A careful abdominal examination is performed.
