Patient's question:
In recent months, my menstrual cycle has been irregular, and I've also experienced menstrual cramps. There's been a lot of leukorrhea, and it has a strong odor, which is quite unpleasant. The amount of blood flow during my period has also increased significantly. Sometimes, I even have lower back pain. After searching online, it was suggested that it might be ovary inflammation. So, I'd like to learn more about the symptoms of this condition.Doctor's answer:
Ovarian non-specific inflammation includes acute and chronic orchitis. The former is much rarer than the latter. Ovaritis is often included in pelvic inflammatory disease, so clinically, the following signs and symptoms are commonly observed: Acute cases may have fever, abdominal pain (dull pain without radiating to other areas), lumbosacral pain, and a sense of rectal fullness and pressure. Chronic cases, however, have symptoms that are encompassed within chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, such as lumbosacral discomfort and aching pain, rectal fullness and pressure, poor appetite, general fatigue and weakness, poor mental state, menstrual changes (most commonly increased menstrual flow), and even lower abdominal masses.Gynecological examination: In acute cases, there may be lower abdominal tenderness and tension, rebound tenderness, cervical motion tenderness, a full posterior fornix, and sometimes palpable, poorly defined, soft masses in the adnexal region. In chronic cases, there may be lower abdominal tenderness, adnexal thickening, and even masses.
