Patient's question:
My current job involves working for ten or more hours every day, sometimes with overtime. Recently, I've been experiencing some lower abdominal pain, particularly on both sides, along with excessive vaginal discharge. I'm not sure if it's appendicitis, and I'm very worried.Doctor's answer:
Hello, for women, prolonged sitting can slow blood circulation, leading to pelvic venous reflux obstruction and excessive blood stasis, which may result in gynecological diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexal inflammation. Low immunity is also one of the triggers for adnexal inflammation. Additionally, bacteria can invade the reproductive organs during childbirth or induced abortion, and may take advantage of poor hygiene during menstruation or unclean sexual practices. Chronic adnexal inflammation generally stems from acute transformation, but sometimes acute symptoms may be mild, and once it occurs, it becomes chronic. You may belong to the latter category.
