Patient's question:
During pre-pregnancy checkup, I was diagnosed with adnexitis. Usually, I don't feel any discomfort.Doctor's answer:
Hello, adnexitis refers to inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. If adnexitis is not treated for a long time, it can spread to other nearby organs, causing inflammation. In severe cases, it can lead to infertility. The female adnexa include: internal reproductive organs, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries is called adnexitis. However, tubo-ovarian abscess often occurs with parametritis and pelvic peritonitis, and it is also difficult to distinguish during diagnosis. Therefore, pelvic peritonitis and parametritis are also included in the scope of adnexal inflammation.
