Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling severe pain in my lower abdomen, especially during my period when the pain becomes even more pronounced. Additionally, my menstrual flow is quite heavy, and the blood is very bright red. Could it be that I have adnexitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, clinical manifestations of acute tubo-ovarian inflammation include lower abdominal pain and fever, with varying degrees depending on the severity of the inflammation. Some patients may experience chills, headache, and loss of appetite before high fever. Increased leukorrhea is common, caused by the discharge of tubal inflammatory secretions through the uterine cavity. Some cases may also present with intestinal and bladder irritation symptoms.The occurrence of ovarian inflammation not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a vaginal examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
