Patient's question:
I am 25 years old and have been married for two years without having children. During this time, I also experienced recurring lower back pain and more severe acne than before, as well as irregular periods. At first, I thought it was just a simple endocrine disorder, and I was worried online that adnexitis might affect my ability to conceive. Does adnexitis affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
The attachment includes ovaries and fallopian tubes. If the ovaries and fallopian tubes have inflammation, it may affect pregnancy. The main function of the ovaries is to secrete estrogen and progesterone, and to produce the growth, development, and maturation of follicles. The fallopian tubes are the necessary passage for sperm and egg fusion. If either of these two conditions occurs inflammation again, it may lead to infertility. Therefore, when suffering from adnexitis, it is recommended to seek timely treatment at a regular hospital.
