The uterine tubes and ovaries, known as the uterine adnexa, are referred to as the uterine accessories. Uterine accessory inflammation refers to inflammation of the tubes and ovaries.
Since these two organs are located in the pelvis, and their proximity to the peritoneum and the connective tissue surrounding the uterus makes them vulnerable to infection when inflammation occurs in the appendix, it is important to understand this relationship.
What causes acute adnexitis? There are two types of adnexitis: acute and chronic. Although both are inflammations of the adnexa, there are significant differences in their clinical manifestations and treatment approaches. Therefore, there is a substantial difference in the approach to treatment based on whether it is acute or chronic adnexitis. The causes of acute adnexitis include: 1. One cause of acute adnexitis is the body's resistance decreases following childbirth or abortion due to significant physical damage.
Inflammatory pathogens can ascend from the vagina and infect the ovaries and fallopian tubes, thereby causing inflammation throughout the pelvic cavity.
2. If a woman becomes pregnant and undergoes an abortion through curettage, or undergoes tubal ligation surgery, or undergoes contraception after having children, equipment will be inserted into the body. If the sterilization is not performed strictly, or if the preoperative indications are not selected correctly, it can lead to ascending infection of pathogens in the reproductive tract, thus causing adnexitis.
3. Women's hygiene is especially important, especially during menstruation when personal hygiene should be particularly taken care of.
During menstruation, engaging in sexual intercourse increases the risk of venereal infection and may lead to pelvic inflammation.
4. Not only does inflammation around the ancillary parts of the body cause ancillary inflammation, but if there is acute or chronic inflammation in other parts of the body without timely and correct treatment, bacteria can follow the bloodstream to the pelvis, leading to ancillary inflammation.
Preventive Methods for Acute Appendicitis Acute appendicitis is a complex condition that, if not treated promptly, can lead to serious consequences.
It not only causes physical injuries, but also brings great psychological pressure to women.
To minimize the harm caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, it is crucial to promptly take preventative measures to eliminate pathogens from entering the female body.
1. Women's sexual activity is a potential source of infection, so it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and also to ensure that partners maintain good hygiene.
在性生活之前，对双方生殖器进行清理是必要的，这有助于防止病菌进入阴道。
If a woman has already experienced vaginal bleeding, she should abstain from sexual intercourse to prevent re-infection and exacerbation of the condition.
2. During menstruation, women are more susceptible to infections and it is important to pay extra attention to personal hygiene. Daily changes of underwear and washing the vulva with clean water are essential. Avoid using too harsh cleaning agents for the vulva. When choosing toiletries, use running water instead of using a basin or bathtub.
3. Women should pay attention to their nutritional supplementation, especially after childbirth, menstruation and artificial abortion, when their bodies are relatively weak and their resistance is reduced, making them more susceptible to the invasion of pathogens. At this time, it is necessary to ensure nutritional supplementation and enhance their own resistance.
Symptoms of Acute Abdominal Fistula: The condition is divided into acute and chronic abdominal fistula. The etiology differs between the two, and symptoms also vary.
The symptoms of acute appendicitis primarily consist of acute lower abdominal pain, accompanied by fever.
Upon performing a physical examination for gynecological conditions, there are often pronounced signs of abdominal tenderness and rebound tenderness, which are indicative of acute abdominal conditions.
In routine blood tests, there is an increase in leukocyte count, and the proportion of neutrophils also significantly increases.
Chronic appendicitis is more common than acute appendicitis, and it may present with varying degrees of lower abdominal distension and sciatica pain in the lumbar region.
Symptoms of the female genital system are also present, including menstrual irregularities, back pain, and abnormal vaginal discharge. These symptoms worsen during menstruation and after physical exertion.
During gynecological examination, tenderness on the unilateral or bilateral adnexal area is discovered, and there is an increase in white blood cell count.
Chronic inflammation can lead to the involvement of fallopian tubes by chronic inflammation, which over time may result in fibrosis, thickening, and obstruction. Additionally, there is a possibility that it may adhere to surrounding tissues.
If the obstruction of the fallopian tube is severe, it can result in occlusion at both ends, leading to internal hydrops. If this hydrops enters into the ovaries, it can cause an ovarian cyst.
Acute adnexitis is a common gynecological disease. If it is not treated timely, it will cause great harm to the body.
1. It is prone to ectopic pregnancy: The presence of adnexitis can cause the obstruction and adhesions of the fallopian tubes. If the lumen of the fallopian tube is not completely blocked, there are some pathways left, which makes it easy to cause an ectopic pregnancy.
2. Influencing Female Fertility: As the early symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease are not very obvious and often go unnoticed until they have already progressed to a more severe stage, it is difficult to detect them at the onset.
This can lead to the function of the fallopian tube being compromised, preventing the egg from entering smoothly. This causes the sperm and egg to fail to meet properly, resulting in difficulties in conceiving.
3. Endocrine Disorder: The ovary, an important organ in the control of female endocrine function, is affected by pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which leads to inflammation of the ovary and disrupts its normal physiological functions in controlling endocrine processes. This can result in female endocrine disorders.
Hormonal imbalances can lead to a range of complications, such as menstrual irregularities and poor skin condition.
Acute adnexitis is difficult to detect at an early stage, making it challenging to determine if one has contracted the disease, thereby delaying the optimal time for treatment intervention and causing greater harm. Certain examinations are required for the diagnosis of adnexitis, including vaginoscopy, complete blood count, cervical secretion analysis, and urine routine tests.
1. Leukocyte count: By measuring the total number of white blood cells, one can examine whether inflammatory lesions are isolated and encapsulated, as well as detect if toxins have been absorbed or other inflammatory conditions exist.
If the total number of white blood cells continues to rise, there is a possibility of abscess formation and suppuration.
2. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Test: This test requires data to be correlated with pulse, white blood cell count, and body temperature for reference.
An increase in the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) may have significant reference value for some asymptomatic diseases.
3. Posterior Fossa Puncture: If the inflammation is still in its localized stage, a relatively dilute cerebrospinal fluid can be obtained through aspiration, and bacterial cultures can be conducted on this fluid. Aerobic and anaerobic bacterial cultures can also be performed on the cerebrospinal fluid obtained.
