Long-term persistent low back pain should alert you to adnexitis

Short story: Cuicui has been married for 2 years, but has not gotten pregnant. Cuicui has always been healthy and thinks it is not her problem. She often quarrels with her husband because of this problem. Recently, Cuicui has experienced back pain every time she has her period. The back pain gets worse when she is a little tired from doing housework. She thinks back pain is normal and doesn't take it seriously. However, in the past 2 days, Cuicui has started to experience pain in her lower abdomen and her vaginal discharge has increased significantly. She went to the hospital for a checkup and was diagnosed with adnexitis. Could back pain be a sign of adnexitis?

Story analysis: Adnexitis refers to inflammation of the female reproductive appendages, namely the fallopian tubes and ovaries, which is often accompanied by the serosa of adjacent organs or pelvic peritonitis. Low back pain is the main clinical manifestation of patients with adnexitis, but because menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth and other physiological characteristics can cause low back pain in women, many women think that low back pain is normal and ignore adnexitis.

When inflammation occurs, inflammatory changes such as congestion, edema, and connective tissue adhesions may occur in the pelvic cavity. These changes can directly compress the lumbar sacral nerves, causing tenderness in the waist and symptoms of low back pain. Therefore, if low back pain persists for a long time, you should be alert to adnexitis and get checked in time to avoid worsening of the condition or even deterioration.
