Patient's question:
Since having sex with my husband during my period last month, I have frequently felt intermittent sharp pain in my lower abdomen, accompanied by a burning sensation. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed me with adnexitis, which is not very serious. At the time, they prescribed some medication for treatment, and the effect has been quite noticeable. What is adnexitis?Doctor's answer:
In daily life, failure to pay attention to personal hygiene or perform the intrauterine surgery operation strictly can lead to adnexitis. Wearing tight pants frequently can cause poor ventilation in the perineum, keeping the external genital area in a moist state for a long time, which can lead to inflammation and downward progression, ultimately resulting in adnexitis. The most common type is appendicitis. Appendicitis patients, due to delayed medical attention, allow bacteria to advance into the appendiceal serosa and follow the flow of pus to the right adnexa. In the early stages of adnexitis in women, symptoms are not obvious, and if not treated promptly, there may be severe abdominal pain. Persistent lower abdominal pain is mostly caused by inflammation. Adnexitis is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment and follow the doctor's recommendations. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues, avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
