Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing varying degrees of abdominal pain, which keeps coming and going. In addition to the dull and heavy pain in the lower abdomen, my leukorrhea has increased significantly, and my menstrual cycle has become irregular. Later, I went to the hospital for a series of thorough examinations, and the results showed that I had adnexitis. Will this affect my ability to get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Chronic adnexitis often presents with stubborn symptoms, frequently forming adhesions and cysts in the fallopian tubes and ovaries, which are also adhered to surrounding tissues. Anti-inflammatory drugs find it difficult to penetrate these areas, making it challenging to achieve a complete cure. During periods of weakened immunity or overexertion, acute relapses may occur. Patients may experience symptoms such as high fever, lower abdominal discomfort, dull pain, and lower back pain. After physical exertion, during intercourse, or around the menstrual period, symptoms may worsen due to congestion in the adnexa. Additionally, patients may notice an increase in leukorrhea or a recurrence of prolonged menstrual bleeding, frequent menstruation, or extended menstrual cycles. These menstrual irregularities often lead to infertility. Adnexitis is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely medical treatment and follow their doctors' recommendations for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, it is important to focus on self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid exacerbating the condition.
