Patient's question:
My friend was recently diagnosed with early-stage ovarian inflammation. I'd like to consult about the common symptoms of early-stage 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 pain, a sense of rectal fullness, poor appetite, generalized fatigue and weakness, poor mental state, changes in menstruation (most commonly an increase in menstrual flow), or 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.
