Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Lower abdominal dull pain, lower back pain starting from mid-September. In October, when I was unsure of the illness, I received a week-long infusion of antibiotics like penicillin and metronidazole, which somewhat relieved the abdominal pain. In December, I had a fever for a day and recovered without medication. Recently, the abdominal pain has slightly worsened, and after a simple examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with bilateral adnexitis. My menstrual cycle and flow were normal before this, and my vaginal discharge is slightly yellow or green with no odor. The doctor prescribed metronidazole and Jinchengteng capsules.I would like to ask:
1. Based on the current situation, what is the severity of my adnexitis? Is it serious?
2. How effective is this treatment? Should I
Doctor's answer:
First, having appendicitis is not easy to get pregnant and also cannot get pregnant. Once appendicitis is diagnosed, regular treatment should be started immediately, especially acute appendicitis should not be delayed. On the one hand, the best treatment effect is achieved in the acute phase, making it easier to be completely cured; on the other hand, if it is delayed, it may develop into chronic appendicitis, which is not only difficult to cure completely but also easily causes varying degrees of adhesion of the fallopian tubes, leading to infertility or ectopic pregnancy. This point should be paid more attention to by unmarried women.
