Symptoms and treatment of adnexitis

There are many symptoms of adnexitis, which are divided into acute adnexitis and chronic adnexitis. Acute adnexitis is often severe and causes fever, chills, severe pain in the lower abdomen and other symptoms. Chronic adnexitis can cause varying degrees of abdominal pain, itching in the genitals, abnormal leucorrhea, etc. When adnexitis occurs, it must be treated in a timely manner and anti-inflammatory treatment must be carried out to strive for an early and complete cure.

Common clinical manifestations of adnexitis are as follows:

1. Clinical manifestations of acute adnexitis: Acute adnexitis has obvious symptoms, such as fever, chills, severe pain in the lower abdomen, etc. The main symptom is acute lower abdominal pain accompanied by fever. During gynecological examination, there is obvious tenderness and rebound pain in the adnexal area. Routine blood tests can show an increase in white blood cell count and a significantly increased neutrophil ratio. If acute adnexitis is not treated promptly or properly, it may turn into chronic adnexitis.

2. Clinical manifestations of chronic adnexitis Symptoms of chronic adnexitis include: abdominal pain of varying degrees, or a feeling of heaviness and pulling in the lower abdomen, heaviness and pain, vaginal itching, abnormal fishy smell in vaginal discharge, pain in the waist and legs, weakness in the limbs, physical weakness, and even swelling of the lower limbs, insomnia, increased vaginal discharge, low back pain, and menstrual disorders. During the examination, there is tenderness, thickening, or a tender mass in the bilateral or unilateral adnexal area, and the white blood cell count is elevated or normal.

Treatment of adnexitis

1. Vaginal medication is more effective. 2. Antibiotic treatment: For patients with obvious symptoms, antibiotics should be used as the first choice for treatment. Antibiotics can kill any remaining pathogenic bacteria and prevent acute attacks. Commonly used drugs are still penicillin, gentamicin, metronidazole, etc., and the usage is the same as that for acute salpingo-oophoritis and pelvic peritonitis. 3. Tissue therapy such as placental tissue fluid and placental globulin are injected intramuscularly once a day or every other day, and 15 times constitute a course of treatment. 4. The benign warm stimulation of physical therapy can promote pelvic blood circulation, improve the nutritional status of local tissues, and facilitate the absorption and disappearance of inflammation. Commonly used physical therapies include short wave, ultrashort wave, infrared, audio, ion penetration, etc. However, do not use physical therapy if the body temperature exceeds 37.5℃ or if you have genital tuberculosis.
