Patient's question:
I am a female, 29 years old, unmarried, and have no sexual history. A month ago, while working overtime at my workplace, I suddenly caught a cold because there was no heating in the room. I experienced an increase in leukorrhea, which was abundant and watery, along with lower abdominal pain. I went to the hospital for an ultrasound examination, where the results showed thickened adnexa, and I was diagnosed with adnexitis. I took Fuyan Xiao, Ginkgo biloba, and received levofloxacin injections. Now, I feel bloated in my lower abdomen with gas that I cannot expel. If it gets slightly cold, I experience lower abdominal pain and have some yellowish leukorrhea, but it is not excessive.I heard from a doctor that women without sexual activity are almost impossible to have adnexitis. So, what kind of condition do I have? A traditional Chinese medicine practitioner said it is due to deficiency and cold. Also, can an ultrasound examination detect this condition?

Doctor's answer:
First, women are relatively prone to suffering from adnexitis in their daily lives. After developing this disease, women's bodies still exhibit many symptoms, such as increased vaginal discharge, lower back pain, and menstrual disorders. Additionally, adnexitis is generally classified into acute adnexitis and chronic adnexitis.
