Treatment of inflammation of the ovaries in women is the use of many tools. This disease often occurs along with pathologies of the fallopian tubes. Appears mostly in girls of childbearing age. Symptoms can be both overt and covert. Treatment of ovarian inflammation also includes anti-infective agents, since the disease can be caused by a harmful bacterium (streptococcus, staphylococcus, gonococcus, chlamydia, mycoplasma, etc.).
Reasons
Inflammation of the ovaries occurs as a result of ingestion of staphylococcal, streptococcal or other aggressively pathogenic microbacteria and rods.
The route of entry into the ovary will depend on the type of microbacterium or coli. For example, the microbacterium tuberculosis enters the ovary in a descending way, from the respiratory organs to the ovaries, and cocci bacillus - ascending, namely, through the fallopian tubes to the ovaries themselves.
Main causal factors in the development of ovarian inflammation:
- overwork;
- hypothermia;
- immunity weakening;
- presence of a common infectious disease;
- poor-quality abortion;
- promiscuity;
- unbalanced diet.
Symptoms
Symptoms of the development of inflammation of the ovaries of the uterus are numerous and depend on the type of bacteria involved in the inflammatory process, as well as the stage of the disease.
Therefore, the symptoms and treatment of inflammation of the ovaries in women are interrelated. There are such manifestations of the disease:
- Pain in the lower pelvis. In this case, the pain can be both constantly aching and throbbing.
- Bleeding or mucous discharge.
- Temperature increase.
- Persistent headaches.
- Nervousness.
- Sexual dysfunction.
Diagnosis
In order for the inflammation of the ovaries not to go sad, it is necessary to start treatment in a timely manner. Since the symptoms can vary, it is quite difficult to distinguish at what stage the course of the disease is. Therefore, it is necessary to resort to modern methods for diagnosing such inflammations.
Diagnosis can be reliably determined using the following data:
- presence of previous pelvic inflammatory disease;
- laboratory indicators of blood condition;
- urine tests for bacteria;
- testing vaginal discharge;
- ultrasound diagnostics;
- examination by a gynecologist;
- presence of hepatitis, syphilis or HIV viruses.
The following methods of instrumental diagnostics for the presence of inflammation are distinguished:
- Ultrasound diagnostics. With this method, the diagnosis is made by assessing the state of the structure and size of the ovaries.
- Ultrasonic hysterosalpingoscopy. The method consists in assessing the changes occurring in the fallopian tubes.
- Laparoscopy. This method is informative, as the uterus, tubes and ovaries are examined.
When antibiotics are prescribed
Treatment of the inflammatory process in the ovaries is necessary to minimize the intoxication of the body with pathogenic bacteria, as well as to reduce the symptoms of the manifestation of the disease.
The tactics of antibiotic treatment depends on the severity and duration of the disease. With the right selection and systemic use of antibiotics, a complete recovery is possible.
If incorrect therapy was carried out in the treatment of ovarian inflammation in women, then this will definitely lead to a chronic course of the disease.
The type and type of drugs is prescribed based on their tolerance and the reaction of bacteria to their use. Therefore, it is natural that the symptoms of ovarian inflammation and antibiotic treatment of this disease are interrelated. The dose and duration of use will depend on the severity of the disease. General antibiotics are used. In the presence of acute inflammation, a combination of antibiotics of general and local action is prescribed.
Local antibiotics can be administered with medical suppositories, and general antibiotics are taken orally. Since the use of a combination of several antibiotics leads to the development of dysbacteriosis, inthe diet is prescribed regular use of probiotics. Also, when dysbacteriosis is detected, the introduction of lactobacilli into the vagina with the help of medical suppositories is prescribed.
Types of drugs
Antibacterial therapy with antibiotics is indicated only with clear signs of acute or chronic development of the disease. Treatment of inflammation of the ovaries with pills until the type of pathogen is detected.
For effective antibiotic therapy of ovarian inflammation, the following series of antibiotics are used:
- Penicillin.
- Metronidazole.
- Moxifloxacin and others.
As mentioned above, the symptoms and treatment of ovarian inflammation are interrelated, so before you start therapy, you should pay attention to the manifestations of the disease in order to identify its pathogen. This is important because in most cases, antibiotic treatment is effective against gonorrhea bacteria. The efficacy of moxifloxacin has been documented in the treatment of acute forms of ovarian inflammation. But despite this, it does not ensure the complete destruction of pathogenic microbacteria, which causes repeated relapses. Which type of antibiotic to use depends on the presence of a particular type of pathogen.
Moxifloxacin - a substance for the treatment of inflammation of the ovaries. It differs from other drugs in its rapid absorption and prolonged concentration in the tissues of the ovaries.
In Russia, the trade name of the antibiotic is Avelox. In monotherapy, the useone tablet per day for two weeks. However, complex treatment with the drug is also possible. Your doctor will tell you more about therapy.
Azithromycin
The effectiveness of azithromycin is to inhibit the growth of bacteria. The antibiotic is effective in the presence of an acute course of the disease. An effective treatment regimen is the introduction of azithromycin intramuscularly in an amount of 500 mg or the use of one gram orally. The therapeutic efficacy of this scheme is confirmed by studies and led to recovery in 95 percent of cases. At the initial stage of the disease, a single application of azithromycin can lead to a significant decrease in the number of pathogens. Combination with general antibiotics such as amoxicillin is also an effective regimen.
Cephalosporins
Antibiotic treatment of inflammation of the ovaries in women is carried out with the help of cephalosporins, which, when monotherapy, suppress pathogenic microflora better than quinols and azithromycins. Cephalosporins are effective against gonorrhea and cocci bacteria. Therefore, they are prescribed in conjunction with moxifloxacins. An effective treatment regimen is a single injection of the drug intramuscularly in an amount of 400 or 500 mg. If the signs of the disease have not gone away, then a combination of cephalosporin with other antibiotics is prescribed, since resistance may develop during the second use. In this case, the cephalosporin is prescribed in conjunction with azithromycin.
Aminoglycosides
Previously, aminoglycosides were used totreatment of severe abscesses. But now their effectiveness is gradually decreasing. Therefore, patients with a severe form of the course of the disease and the presence of abscesses are prescribed aminoglycosides with clindamycin. Aminoglycosides, without losing their effectiveness, are able to maintain their concentration for a long time, which significantly exceeds the norm for the destruction of a pathogenic agent.
Clindamycin
In the treatment of inflammation of the ovaries, the antibiotic of this group effectively penetrates into leukocytes and microphages, and also gives a high concentration in the blood and at the site of inflammation. However, in recent years, more and more cases of strain resistance to antibiotics have been detected. Studies have shown resistance in 17 percent of cases, and those who used this antibiotic without testing for susceptibility of the bacteria, this figure was 50 percent. Against this background, a combination of clindamycin with ceftriaxone is immediately prescribed.
Candles
Medical candles are used in the treatment of various diseases in women. There are vaginal and rectal types. Candles are also divided according to their purpose. Vaginal suppositories are used to treat inflammatory processes in the ovaries.
