The diagnosis of "salpingoophoritis" suggests that a woman has an inflammatory pathological process in the area of the fallopian tubes, as well as the ovaries. It is worth noting that this disease can be very unpleasant. Despite the fact that salpingo-oophoritis symptoms are not very pronounced, the morphological change in the fallopian tubes can lead to big problems with conception. So it is better to treat such a disease immediately after its detection.
Reason for development
The main factor in the occurrence of this disease is the infection in the fallopian tubes and ovaries. In this case, 2-sided salpingo-oophoritis is most often formed immediately. This disease can develop under the influence of both specific (for example, chlamydia) and nonspecific microflora. An infection can enter the fallopian tubes and ovaries from two main places: the uterus and the abdominal cavity. In the first case, infection usually occurs against the background of the presence of any sexually transmitted diseases or endometritis of an infectious etiology. With regard to the penetration of pathogenic microflora from the abdominalcavity, this usually occurs when a woman has a disease such as appendicitis.
It is worth noting that salpingo-oophoritis almost never appears if there are no predisposing factors other than infection. The fact is that local immunity is strong enough and able to cope with almost any pathogenic microflora. It is for this reason that salpingo-oophoritis usually develops only in women with reduced immunity. This is observed in cases where the representative of the beautiful half of humanity has become cold or she has another disease that significantly reduces the defenses of her body.
Clinical course
If a disease such as salpingo-oophoritis develops, symptoms may not appear immediately. This ailment may be asymptomatic for some time, manifesting itself even when the pathological process has developed strongly enough. First of all, the appearance of unpleasant sensations in the lower abdomen on the right and / or left attracts attention. In the future, they can transform into a dull aching or pulling pain. It is rarely overly pronounced. In addition, pain may also appear in the lumbar region. Often in a woman with this disease, the temperature rises slightly. Also, if salpingo-oophoritis develops, symptoms of this disease may include urinary disorders and dyspepsia.
Treatment
This disease must be cured as best as possiblebefore. The fact is that if salpingo-oophoritis appears, the symptoms of this disease are not the worst thing. Much more trouble can arise due to its main complication - the formation of adhesions in the lumen of the fallopian tubes, which leads to infertility.
When the body is susceptible to this disease, a woman is advised to avoid hypothermia, follow a diet that excludes smoked meats, too much seasoned, and fried foods. The basis of the treatment of salpingo-oophoritis is the use of antibacterial drugs. First, doctors prescribe drugs with a wide spectrum of action, and when it becomes clear which infection caused the development of the disease, they are replaced by drugs that are more effective in combating the identified microflora.
