Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect fertility. Also, I'm extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. Could you please tell me what the symptoms of ovarian inflammation are?Doctor's answer:
Ovaritis is a type of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women. It is caused by infection leading to inflammation of the ovaries, which can result in severe complications such as ovarian adhesions, tightly wrapped fallopian tubes, abscesses, and intestinal obstruction, ultimately causing infertility. Generally, non-specific ovarianitis is divided into acute and chronic forms. Acute cases typically recur with symptoms like fever, abdominal pain, and a sense of fullness or pressure in the rectum. Chronic cases may present with systemic weakness, poor mental state, menstrual irregularities or changes in menstrual flow, and even the discovery of masses in the lower abdomen. Ovaritis often recurs alongside pelvic inflammation, posing serious health risks to women. Patients should avoid sexual activity during the recovery period and pay attention to personal hygiene. It is hoped that female patients can receive effective treatment.
