Patient's question:
Female, 52 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing severe itching in the external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the discharge has a strong odor. Please ask: How should ovarian inflammation be treated to be effective?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian inflammation is a type of female pelvic inflammatory disease. It occurs when the ovaries become inflamed due to infection, leading to severe sequelae such as ovarian adhesion, tight fallopian tube, abscesses, and intestinal obstruction, which can result in infertility. Generally, non-specific ovarian inflammation is divided into acute and chronic types. The hazards of ovarian inflammation typically manifest as pain, infertility, and the risk of complications. The examination of ovarian inflammation also differs between acute and chronic cases, and this requires a visit to the hospital. The doctor will choose the appropriate treatment based on your condition and the underlying cause. Additionally, women diagnosed with ovarian inflammation should pay attention to health maintenance in their daily lives.
