What causes adnexitis?

Treatment of adnexitis includes antibiotics, physical therapy and surgery. Common causes include bacterial infection, sexually transmitted diseases, surgery or instrumentation.

1. Bacterial infection is one of the main causes of adnexitis. Common pathogens include Escherichia coli, Streptococcus and Staphylococcus. These bacteria may infect the fallopian tubes and ovaries through the vagina and cervix, causing inflammation. Preventive measures include maintaining personal hygiene, avoiding unclean sexual behavior, and undergoing regular gynecological examinations.

2. Sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea and chlamydia are also important causes of adnexitis. These pathogens are transmitted through sexual contact and may cause inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries after infection. It is recommended to use condoms for sexual intercourse, conduct regular STD screening, and promptly treat related infections.

3. Surgery or instrumental operations such as artificial abortion and intrauterine contraceptive device placement may damage the reproductive tract mucosa and increase the risk of infection. You should pay attention to rest after surgery, take antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor to prevent infection, and avoid having sex too early.

4. Bad living habits such as sitting for long periods of time, staying up late, and irregular diet may reduce immunity and increase the risk of infection. It is recommended to maintain a regular schedule, exercise moderately, eat a balanced diet, and enhance physical resistance.

5. Inflammation of adjacent organs such as appendicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease may spread to the adnexal area and cause adnexitis. While treating the primary disease, pay attention to monitoring whether the adnexal area has inflammation symptoms and seek medical attention in time.

The prevention and treatment of adnexitis requires a combination of measures, including maintaining good personal hygiene, avoiding unclean sexual behavior, and timely treatment of related infections. Through scientific management and a healthy lifestyle, the risk of adnexitis can be effectively reduced and reproductive health can be maintained.
