During normal gynecological examinations, the uterine appendages are sometimes checked. Gynecological color ultrasound can detect the shape of the uterus and bilateral ovaries. It can also detect whether there is fluid accumulation in the pelvic cavity, whether there is inflammation, and whether the ovaries are normal. In addition to B-ultrasound, other methods of examination include urine routine examination, secretion examination, etc. Let's learn about this aspect below. How can adnexitis be diagnosed? 1. Urinalysis: Determine whether there is any abnormality in the hormone level in the body, and also check which bacteria is causing it. If you have any questions, click on the experts for free consultation. 2. Ultrasound examination: Generally speaking, there are no abnormal findings in ultrasound examination, unless there is hydrosalpinx or tubal ovarian cysts are formed, in which case ultrasound examination may reveal a mass. 3. Examination of secretions: In the examination of acute adnexitis, the leucorrhea may be purulent or homogeneous mucous, the adnexa are often tender and painful, and sometimes there may be inflammatory masses with adhesions of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. What causes adnexitis? 1. After delivery or abortion, due to the decrease in resistance, pathogens ascend through the reproductive tract and spread to the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and then the entire pelvic cavity, causing inflammation. 2. Uterine cavity operations performed without strict disinfection, such as vacuum extraction, hysterosalpingography, cervical canal treatment, and obstetric surgery infections without strict disinfection. 3. Not paying attention to menstrual hygiene, sexual intercourse during menstruation or unclean sexual intercourse are all factors that cause adnexitis. 4. When infections in other parts of the body are not treated in time, the pathogens can be spread through the blood and cause salpingo-oophoritis, which is more common in tuberculosis diseases. 5. While intrauterine contraceptive devices are widely used, patients' lack of attention to personal hygiene or lax surgical procedures can cause adnexitis. 6. When inflammation occurs in the pelvic cavity or organs adjacent to the fallopian tubes, such as appendicitis, it can directly spread to cause salpingo-oophoritis and pelvic peritonitis. The inflammation usually occurs in the adjacent fallopian tube and ovary. 7. Sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea. After infection, gonococci can spread upward along the mucous membrane, causing inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. |
