Does appendicitis affect fertility?

Patient's question:

A year ago, I got pregnant, but for various reasons, I didn't keep the baby. Since the abortion, I've always felt a dull ache on both sides of my lower abdomen. The pain has been intermittent. Recently, it's become more frequent. When I went to the hospital, the doctor said I had appendicitis. I haven't had any children yet.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, adnexitis refers to the inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. However, inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries often occurs concurrently with parametritis and pelvic peritonitis, and it is also difficult to distinguish during diagnosis. As a result, pelvic peritonitis and parametritis can severely affect fertility.
