Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain frequently, accompanied by fever. During the gynecological examination, there was significant tenderness and rebound tenderness in the adnexal area. The doctor said this is a symptom of adnexitis and that I have adnexitis. Could you please tell me how to treat adnexitis and what adnexitis is?Doctor's answer:
Having chronic adnexitis can lead to abdominal pain of varying severity, or a sense of lower abdominal heaviness and radiating discomfort, which fluctuates in intensity. It may be accompanied by symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, lower back pain, and menstrual irregularities. Chronic adnexitis does not respond well to antibiotics alone; it requires long-term supportive therapy, which involves enhancing nutrition and stabilizing the body's immune system. The most effective way to boost the immune system is through physical exercise. On the one hand, exercise can stabilize the immune system, and on the other hand, it can also improve mental and emotional well-being. Poor mood can attract many illnesses, and adnexitis is largely a disease.
