Patient's question:
Last month, I started having high fever. It was better during the day, but at night I felt very hot. My abdomen disliked massage, otherwise it would cause some pain. Gradually, the pain became worse. When I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, a large mass was found in the pelvic area. The doctor said it was adnexitis, probably involving the fallopian tube as well. How should adnexitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Acute adnexitis refers to the simultaneous inflammation of both the fallopian tubes and the ovaries. Among acute pelvic inflammatory diseases, tubal inflammation is the most common. It tends to recur in women of reproductive age. If acute adnexitis involves the accumulation of pus in the ovaries and fallopian tubes, and the mass is relatively large, antibiotics alone may not be sufficient to resolve the condition. After active treatment for 72 hours, if symptoms do not improve, surgical intervention should be considered. For severe cases of adnexitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid using medication blindly, as this may worsen the condition.
