Some differences in symptoms between acute and chronic adnexitis

People often confuse the symptoms of acute and chronic adnexitis, which leads to misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, and greater pain for patients. Here we will briefly introduce the differences between the symptoms of acute and chronic adnexitis .

The symptoms of acute adnexitis are mainly acute lower abdominal pain, accompanied by fever. During gynecological examination, there is obvious tenderness and rebound pain in the adnexal area. Routine blood tests show an increase in white blood cells and a significant increase in the proportion of neutrophils. Symptoms of adnexitis: If acute adnexitis is not treated in time or thoroughly, it may turn into chronic adnexitis. Oral antibiotics and topical medications can relieve and eliminate inflammation.

Symptoms of chronic adnexitis include abdominal pain of varying degrees. Chronic inflammation recurs over time, causing pelvic congestion, connective tissue fibrosis, and adhesion of pelvic organs. Patients experience symptoms such as lower abdominal distension, pain, and lumbar pain, which may be mild or severe, accompanied by increased vaginal discharge, back pain, and menstrual disorders, which often worsen during menstruation or after fatigue. Gynecological examinations show tenderness, thickening, or tender masses in the bilateral or unilateral adnexal areas, and an increased or normal white blood cell count.

These are some of the summaries of the differences in symptoms between acute and chronic adnexitis made by our experts in long-term clinical research. I believe they will be helpful to everyone. As long as the symptoms of these two types of adnexitis can be discovered and correctly identified in time and treated actively, they are still very easy to cure.
