Patient's question:
What is pelvic adhesion and how is it detected? Is it an ultrasound examination?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic adhesions refer to the condition where the tissues and organs within the pelvic cavity, such as the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, develop inflammatory changes due to bacterial or viral infections. Common examples include uterine tubal inflammation and ovarian inflammation. These diseases can lead to tissue congestion, edema, and increased secretions. If medical attention is not sought in a timely manner, it may result in conditions such as uterine adhesions, fallopian tube adhesions, or adhesions between the ovaries and fallopian tubes. These situations are collectively referred to as pelvic adhesions. An ultrasound examination can also detect these adhesions. Best wishes.
