Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what the symptoms of an ovarian abscess are? What are the specific symptoms of an ovarian abscess?Doctor's answer:
Persistent lower abdominal pain accompanied by lower back pain, or visible lumps in the lower abdomen with tenderness; increased vaginal discharge, purulent in nature with a foul odor, sometimes accompanied by irregular vaginal bleeding. Some patients may also experience loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, frequent urination, and a sense of rectal fullness. In severe cases, symptoms may include low-grade fever (above 39-40°C), chills, and headaches.Advice: If you experience many of the above symptoms again, it is recommended to seek medical attention for a thorough examination. The doctor will typically perform a finger blood test (complete blood count) and a gynecological examination. The complete blood count may reveal a significant increase in total white blood cell count and a decrease in the proportion of neutrophils. It is advisable to avoid spicy and extremely cold foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
