How should oophoritis be treated?

Patient's question:

The hospital examination said I have oophoritis.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Ovaritis is an inflammatory condition of the ovaries caused by infection with pathogens, leading to severe sequelae such as ovarian adhesion, fallopian tube, abscess, and obstruction, resulting in infertility. It is divided into acute and chronic types, with acute cases being more common in clinical practice, generally treated with medication.
Advice:
Hello: The primary treatment is medication. In the acute phase, antibiotic therapy is administered. If there is aspirated fluid or pus culture and drug sensitivity testing, the use of antibiotics is more effective. If there is adhesion around the ovaries or ovarian-fallopian tube, surgical options such as laparoscopic adhesion decomposition may be considered. If there is an ovarian abscess or ovarian-fallopian tube abscess, and antibiotic treatment is ineffective, surgical intervention may be considered to remove the affected adnexa while preserving the healthy adnexa, thereby retaining fertility.
