Salpingoophoritis is an inflammatory process in the appendages. The disease is also called adnexitis. There is an ailment due to an infection that affects the ovarian appendages in women.
Causes of occurrence
Salpingoophoritis is an ailment that often occurs due to hypothermia, for example, due to prolonged lying or sitting on a cold surface. Also, legs that get wet during the cold season can provoke the development of the disease.
The causative agents of the inflammatory process in adnexitis can be both ordinary microorganisms and those that are transmitted through sexual intercourse. Often these are gonococci and chlamydia. When such bacteria enter the female reproductive system as a result of infection, they tend to the fallopian tubes from the vagina, the acidic environment of which is unfavorable for their life. Where chlamydia live, there is a cylindrical epithelium. These pathogens are quite resistant to the action of the human immune system.
Symptomatics
Salpingoophoritis is a disease, the signs of which are manifested as:
1. Dull or sharp aching pain in the lower abdomen of a woman. Feeltend to intensify on the eve or during menstruation.
2. Pain during intercourse or with reduced sexual desire.
3. Menstrual irregularities.
4. Weakness and increased body temperature.
Possible Complications
Infertility is the most dangerous complication that entails salpingo-oophoritis (a photo of what the female reproductive system looks like in pathology is located on the right). It occurs due to damage (in the process of inflammation) of the epithelial cells of the fallopian tubes. For this reason, deviations in their function occur. The saddest outcome in this case is the scarring of the tube and, as a result, its complete unsuitability for the conception process.
During that period of time, while the ovarian capsules are fighting the inflammatory process, the connective tissue grows. As a result, the walls thicken and compact. Because of this, the ovarian capsule may not rupture at the time of ovulation, and the egg will not be released from the follicle. In this case, pregnancy is also excluded.
Therapy
Salpingoophoritis is a disease, the treatment of which is carried out exclusively in a hospital. A sick woman needs to stay in bed, eat light food and pi
be a lot of liquid.
How to treat salpingo-oophoritis, the doctor decides on the basis of the clinical picture and test data. Therapy is of two types - medical and surgical. In the first case, drugs are usedanalgesic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial action. In addition, desensitizing and immunostimulating drugs are prescribed.
The surgical method of treatment is resorted to if the patient has tumors. After surgery, therapy is carried out using detoxification and antibacterial drugs.
It is strictly forbidden to self-medicate inflammation of the ovarian appendages. Otherwise, the consequences can be dire.
