Adnexitis: Symptoms and Treatment

In gynecological practice leading position among all diseases takes adnexitis. Its danger lies not only in the deterioration of the quality of life of women, but that adnexitis may contribute to serious problems relating to the reproductive function.

In most cases, adnexitis occurs in young women.

According to medical statistics, every fifth patient gynecologist, which was put the diagnosis continues to be treated, but infertility.

What adneksit

Under adnexitis mean inflammation of the uterus (ovaries, ligaments, fallopian tubes themselves). Adnexitis occurs in two ways: upward or downward. When the uplink path to the fallopian tube of the womb penetrate microorganisms in the inflammatory process are involved all layers (salpingitis) and then, in most cases together with the ligaments involved and ovaries (oophoritis) so adnexitis has another name - oophoritis.

Occurrence adneksita carried downward by the second from the abdominal organs such as appendicitis. Most often, inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries occurs simultaneously, so these processes in the pelvis, are treated as one.

How dangerous adneksit

The complexity of the disease is nearly asymptomatic that delays rapid detection and treatment. Adnexitis dangerous complications. The most common complication during acute adnexitis form adhesions between the uterus, ovaries, tube gland, bladder, pelvic wall and bowel loops in the pelvis. If you get an infection in the tissue of the ovary are formed in the purulent cavity (if a merger can occur meltdown ovarian tissue). Further there is ovarian abscess. There are chronic and acute adnexitis.

In acute adnexitis because of inflammatory fluid that accumulates in the fallopian tube, there are saccular formation with the accumulation of pus in them. Acute adnexitis has another complication - the so-called tubo-ovarian abscess, in which the infection can penetrate into the abdominal cavity, causing inflammation of the peritoneum, as a result of peritonitis and abscesses different.

If chronic adnexitis often aggravated, sexual dysfunction can arise: pain during sexual intercourse, decreased sex drive. Improper treatment of acute adnexitis may become chronic, which mainly leads to ectopic pregnancy, infertility.

Adnexitis: causes

The infection spreads from the uterus into the fallopian tubes, ovaries, is the main reason adneksita. Adnexitis depending on the pathogen has become the cause of the disease is divided into:

• specific (for diphtheria, tuberculosis, gonococcal infections);
• nonspecific adnexitis (for sexual infections such as trichomonas, chlamydia, ureaplasma, mycoplasma, with opportunistic flora: staphylococcus, streptococcus, E. coli).

Depending on the way in which the infection is transmitted:

• through the lymph system;
• via the blood generally occurs in patients with genital tuberculosis;
• a downward path (infection penetrates the ovaries out of the vagina, is more often observed in patients with sexually transmitted diseases);
• upward path (the infection spreads from the top departments, for example, lungs, kidneys). Even angina can cause this disease. Against this background, there is a bilateral adnexitis often accompanied by inflammation of the uterus.

Of course, the presence of infection is not always promotes that develops adnexitis, because the appearance and progression of the disease need predisposing factors.

These are:

• various diseases asexual nature (frequent angina, pyelonephritis, chronic tonsillitis);
• unhealthy lifestyles, frequent stress (factors that weaken the immune system, allowing the infection to spread freely);
• fatigue and hypothermia;
• failure to comply with personal hygiene;
• conduct intrauterine manipulations: inspection of the uterine cavity hysteroscopy, curettage abortion, installation and removal of intrauterine device;
• frequent change of sexual partners.

When probing revealed a sharp pain in the lower abdomen, can manifest symptoms of muscular protection. In some cases, acute adnexitis asymptomatic. The average time of acute adnexitis - 7-10 days.

The outcome of acute adnexitis is basically a chronic adnexitis. Picture of symptoms (compared with acute adnexitis) is not so clear. Women who adneksit with the chronic form, note that the pain centered in the lower abdomen and groin, gave to the rump, thigh or anus, are not constant and periodic. The pain may increase after exposure to cold, stress, or before the beginning of menstruation.

Most often, adnexitis accompany menstrual irregularities. Secretions become scant, increasing the gap between them (oligomenorrhea). Adnexitis chronic form manifests periodic exacerbations due to weakened immunity, repeated infections, infections resistant to antibiotic therapy.

Adnexitis chronic form in the acute stage deteriorates the overall health, there is fever, increased pain, appear purulent vaginal discharge.

Adnexitis and its treatment

The use of antimicrobial drugs, analgesics, broad-spectrum antibiotics, desensitizing and anti-inflammatory drugs due to the severity of pain, which provokes adnexitis. After the elimination of acute inflammatory processes are assigned different biostimulants, physiotherapy (ultrasound on the lower abdomen, vibratory massage, electrophoresis). Acute adnexitis treated strictly in the hospital with bed rest.

In chronic adnexitis there are several kinds of therapy (antimicrobial, resolve, anti-inflammatory, immune-stimulating). Chronic adnexitis treatment is based on the reason that it has caused. In addition to drug treatment is carried out and physiotherapy (electrophoresis, the ISF, the ultrasound on the lower abdomen, vibratory). Adnexitis treated with mineral water and mud, with applications of mineral wax (a product of the oil passage). In various spas adneksit treated after the main course of therapy.

Woman to the disease should be taken seriously, we must not forget about the consequences. Adnexitis insidious in that it can become chronic. Even if all of the most vivid and disturbing symptoms (pain, temperature) have passed, adnexitis extremely important to cure completely.
