Patient's question:
I have been married for several years, but I have always wanted a child and haven't been able to have one, which makes me very anxious. In the past two years, I have been suffering from constipation. In addition to irregular menstruation, my menstrual cycle is particularly long, and it seems like there is a lot of menstrual blood. After many detailed examinations at the hospital, they said I have acute tubo-ovarian inflammation.Doctor's answer:
Generally, symptoms appear within two weeks after infection. First, there are systemic symptoms such as fatigue and loss of appetite. When symptoms manifest again, high fever (39-40°C) and a rapid pulse (110-120 beats per minute) occur, accompanied by chills or shivering. Severe pain in both lower abdominal areas, which intensifies during bowel movements, may also be present. At times, there may also be pain during urination, abdominal pain, and constipation. The presence of mucus in the stool is a sign of inflammatory damage to the colon wall.Menstrual disorders, such as excessive bleeding, prolonged periods, or irregular cycles, as well as purulent vaginal discharge, are common. There are many treatment methods for ovarian inflammation, but since patients exhibit different symptoms, the diagnostic approach varies. Therefore, prompt diagnosis is essential to provide targeted treatment.
