Patient's question:
I have had chronic appendicitis for three years, and it always flares up. Recently, I've been feeling some pain in my lower abdomen. I want to get an intravenous drip to reduce inflammation. Besides, since I had a blood transfusion in August due to uterine bleeding, will there be any issues with getting an intravenous drip now?Doctor's answer:
Chronic adnexitis patients usually experience pain on one side of the abdomen with thickening and enlargement of the adnexa. The condition tends to recur during periods of exertion or before and after menstruation. Relying solely on these symptoms for diagnosis is relatively crude. In reality, many other diseases share similar symptoms and manifestations, such as endometriosis and pelvic venous congestion syndrome. The symptoms of these two conditions are very similar to those of chronic adnexitis.Antibiotics alone are not very effective for chronic adnexitis, and long-term supportive therapy is required, which involves enhancing nutrition and stabilizing the immune system. The most important way to boost the immune system is through physical exercise. Exercise can stabilize the immune system and also improve mental well-being. Poor mood can attract many illnesses, and chronic adnexitis is largely a disease as well.
