Patient's question:
Medical Description: Last week, I initially felt mild abdominal bloating and pain, leg discomfort, especially in the thighs, abnormal vaginal discharge, and cramping in the lower abdomen accompanied by the urge to defecate. It has been more than half a month, and the pain is severe with some low-grade fever. I took seven days of Ciprofloxacin, Gentamicin, and Metronidazole. During those days, I experienced some discomfort when urinating in the morning, intermittent lower abdominal cramps followed by bowel movements, and severe urethral pain. Six months ago, an ultrasound revealed an ovarian cyst! Since my last menstrual period, it has been irregularly and not clean for three or four days. The menstrual flow has increased again, and if it is one week earlier than the last time. Now, I only feel a vague discomfort in the lower abdomen, sharp pain, and leg discomfort. I have already received seven days of anti-inflammatory injections, but there has been no improvement. Last weekend, I went to...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, 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 does not yield immediate results; symptoms will gradually subside. Medications primarily involve the use of traditional Chinese medicine formulations. 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 they are likely to recur 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 effectively alleviating local lesions.
