Patient's question:
These days, I've been experiencing some right lower abdominal pain when waking up, half-lying and half-sitting, but there's no pain in my right thigh. However, I still feel something. During the day, it's basically fine. Could it be appendicitis? If an ultrasound shows that the appendix is fine, does that mean there's no appendicitis? Can I get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: In the female internal reproductive organs, the fallopian tubes and ovaries are referred to as adnexa of the uterus. Adnexitis refers to the inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries.Suggestions: Generally, there are no abnormal findings in ultrasound examinations unless there is hydrosalpinx or the formation of a tubo-ovarian cyst, in which case ultrasound can detect masses. In acute tubo-ovarian inflammation, the discharge may appear purulent or homogeneous mucous, with tenderness and palpable pain in the adnexa. Sometimes, inflammatory masses due to adhesion of the fallopian tubes and ovaries can be palpated, with unclear boundaries and restricted mobility.
In chronic tubo-ovarian inflammation, there is tenderness in the lower abdomen upon examination, and pelvic examination reveals thickening and tenderness on both sides of the uterus. Sometimes, enlarged and fixed cystic masses can be palpated.
