Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of tubo-ovarian inflammation? My dear sister, the fallopian tubes were inflamed, but she had no discomfort and only found out after going to the hospital for a check-up. What symptoms indicate that the fallopian tubes are inflamed?Doctor's answer:
First, confirm the condition. If it is acute oophoritis, the ovaries are adjacent to the fallopian tubes, and the extension of fallopian tube inflammation can cause oophoritis. Oophoritis combined with fallopian tube inflammation is called tubo-ovarian inflammation. In most cases, both sides are affected, but it may be milder on one side. Unilateral tubo-ovarian inflammation is seen when inflammation directly spreads from appendicitis or diverticulitis to the adnexa.
