Patient's question:
I have never had sexual activity, but recently I have experienced abdominal pain and itching in the external genitalia. The hospital examination said it was ovarian inflammation.Doctor's answer:
Due to the compromised defense mechanism or low resistance, pathogens invade. The pathogens include streptococcus, staphylococcus, E. coli, and anaerobic bacteria, etc. First, the fallopian tube is affected, then it spreads along the fallopian tube to the ovary, causing peri-ovarian inflammation and ovary adhesion. In severe cases, it may form an abscess of the fallopian tube and ovary. Therefore, this disease can occur even without sexual activity. It is recommended to take oral antibiotics early and avoid sour, spicy, and greasy foods.
