Patient's question:
Why does the ovary become inflamed without sexual activity?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 tubes are affected, then spreading along the fallopian tubes to the ovaries, causing peri-ovarian inflammation and ovarian adhesion. In severe cases, it may lead to abscess formation in the fallopian tubes and ovaries. Therefore, this disease can occur even without sexual activity. It is recommended to take oral antibiotics early and avoid acidic, spicy, and greasy foods.
