Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! I have some doubts about whether I have adnexitis because I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain recently, and my menstrual cycle is irregular with increased leukorrhea that has a bad odor. During sexual intercourse with my husband at night, I experienced pain again. Could you please tell me how to check for adnexitis?Doctor's answer:
If the situation you described reoccurs with lower abdominal pain, irregular menstruation, increased leukorrhea with an odor, and suspicion of adnexitis, you can undergo an abdominal ultrasound and a gynecological examination. The check-up in the next two days can clarify whether there is a possibility of adnexitis. It is important to rest more, avoid overexertion and strenuous exercise. Wear loose cotton underwear and change your underwear frequently. For patients, if the condition of adnexitis is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered with proper medication, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of adnexitis. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and keep a cheerful mood. Thank you.
