Patient's question:
I used to have lower abdominal pain, which felt dull. I also had excessive white discharge, and my menstrual cycle was irregular. I used to think it was caused by menstrual disorders and took some Chinese herbal medicine for it. Later, someone who understood traditional Chinese medicine said I had adnexitis of the uterus. So, what are the symptoms of adnexitis?Doctor's answer:
Recurring inflammation of the uterine appendages may lead to recurrent lower abdominal pain or abnormal vaginal discharge. If the discharge is abnormal, vaginal medication treatment is required, along with oral medications. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided, spicy and irritating foods should not be consumed, and the body's immune system should be strengthened by avoiding staying up late and maintaining a regular lifestyle. However, whether it is indeed caused by uterine appendage inflammation needs to be confirmed through a gynecological examination and careful ultrasound checks. Additionally, during the treatment of adnexitis, besides immediate treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood.
