Salpingoophoritis or an undexitis is called inflammation of the uterine appendages - ovaries and fallopian tubes. Sometimes the disease announces itself with acute symptoms - fever, acute pain, but most often speak of chronic salpingo-oophoritis. Depending on the location of the inflammation, the chronic salpingo-oophoritis can be bilateral, or affect the appendages only on the right or left side. This problem is widespread and is in most cases the cause of female infertility.
Symptoms of chronic salpingoophoritis:
- constant dull pain in the groin, lumbar region, vagina, in the lower abdomen, which is strengthened before the onset of menstruation and after freezing;
- change in the nature of the menstrual cycle - irregularities in the cycle, irregularity, too long or short menstruation, accompanied by severe pain;
- absence of pregnancy, despite regular sex life;
- presence of secretions (whites) from the genital tract;
- disorders in the work of the gastrointestinal tract and organs of the urinary system;
- changes on the part of the individual - nervousness, irritability, depression, conflict.
Causes of chronic salpingo-oophoritis
As a rule, chronic salpingo-oophoritis develops as a consequence of an incomplete acute form of the disease. Most often the cause of the inflammatory process in the appendages is the infection with streptococcus, staphylococcus, gonococcus, E. coli or microbacteria tuberculosis. Promotes the development of salpingo-oophoritis, any intra-uterine intervention, a decrease in the body's defenses due to chronic fatigue and stress, excessive interest in fashionable diets and excessive exercise.
Exacerbation of chronic salpingo-oophoritis
The exacerbation of chronic salpingo-oophoritis can be caused by hypothermia, colds and stresses. During an exacerbation of a chronic process, a woman observes an increase in the number of secretions, an increase in the intensity of lower abdominal pain, and an increase in temperature. All this is accompanied by a violation of sexual functions: a significant decrease in sexual desire and unpleasant painful sensations during sex. During exacerbations of chronic salpingo-oophoritis in the damaged fallopian tube, there is a malfunction of the mucosa and muscle fibers, connective tissue grows and obstruction arises. If the inflammation covers the appendages only on one side, then the onset of pregnancy is possible even without treatment. But if it is a two-sided chronic salpingo-oophoritis, the danger of infertility increases many times, and without a long-term competent treatment is indispensable.
