Patient's question:
Medical Description: Last week, I initially felt mild lower abdominal pain and leg discomfort, especially in the thighs, along with abnormal vaginal discharge. During episodes of lower abdominal cramping, I felt the urge to defecate. This has been going on for over two weeks. Due to severe pain and low-grade fever, I took seven days of Ciprofloxacin, Gentamicin, and Metronidazole. During those days, I experienced some discomfort when urinating in the morning, followed by intermittent lower abdominal cramps and severe urethral pain.Six months ago, a ultrasound examination revealed an ovarian cyst!! Since my last menstrual period, my periods have been irregular, and for the past three or four days, my menstrual flow has been heavier, as if it came a week earlier than usual.

Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Adnexitis is a common disease that causes infection of the fallopian tubes and ovaries after pathogenic microorganisms invade the reproductive organs. It is divided into acute and chronic types. Acute adnexitis has obvious symptoms, such as fever, chills, and severe lower abdominal pain. Chronic adnexitis presents with varying degrees of abdominal pain, or a sense of heaviness and pulling in the lower abdomen, which fluctuates in intensity, accompanied by symptoms such as increased leukorrhea, lower back pain, and menstrual disorders.Advice and recommendations: The treatment of chronic adnexitis with medication will not yield immediate results; symptoms will gradually subside. Medication primarily involves the use of traditional Chinese medicine preparations. When using these medications, it is essential to maintain continuous treatment for at least one month. Never stop taking the medication just because symptoms improve, as recurrence is likely to occur shortly thereafter. Physical therapy can be used in conjunction with medication. The effects of physical therapy include reducing local edema, softening scars, promoting intestinal motility, and improving blood circulation, thereby achieving significant improvement in localized lesions.
