Can ultrasound detect adnexitis?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been feeling symptoms that are a bit like adnexitis, and I want to get an ultrasound check. Can an ultrasound examination detect adnexitis accurately?

Doctor's answer:

refers to tubo-ovarian, which is one manifestation of pelvic. Generally, ultrasound examinations show no abnormalities unless there is tubal hydrops or the formation of tubo-ovarian cysts, in which case MRI can detect masses. During acute tubo-ovarian examinations, leukorrhea appears purulent or homogeneous mucous, with tenderness and pain in the adnexa. Sometimes, inflammatory masses due to tubal and ovarian adhesions can be palpated, with unclear boundaries and impaired mobility.
In daily life, it is advisable to maintain a healthy lifestyle, drink plenty of hot water, ensure good sleep, go to bed early and wake up early, and engage in appropriate activities. Try to eat a lighter diet, avoiding spicy, irritating, and greasy foods. Active cooperation with treatment can effectively alleviate symptoms.
