Adnexitis is a very common gynecological inflammatory disease. It is very common among women of childbearing age. Adnexitis will have a great impact on the health of women's reproductive system. In severe cases, it may even induce infertility. Therefore, for adnexitis, active prevention and control measures must be taken as early as possible to protect the health of the reproductive system.
But for women, correct identification of adnexitis is the beginning of scientific prevention and treatment. So, what are the diagnostic criteria for adnexitis? Women need to know these 4 points as soon as possible.
1. Diagnostic points 1: The patient’s clinical manifestations
Female ovaries and fallopian tubes, these two structures together are called the female uterine appendage. The fallopian tube is the main structure of the fallopian egg. Sperm and egg cells combine in the ampulla of the fallopian tube to form a fertilized egg.
The ovary is the gonadal organ of women, mainly responsible for secreting hormones and ovulating. Therefore, lesions in any of these two structures can easily cause adnexitis. Common clinical manifestations include lower abdominal discomfort, and pressing pain in the adnexal area during gynecological examination. Careful inspection can also reveal that the adnexal area is thickened. In short, through these clinical manifestations, it can basically be diagnosed as a disease in the adnexal area.
2. Diagnostic Point 2: Imaging examination
Common gynecological diseases in women, more intuitive evidence can often be obtained through imaging examinations. For example, when it is suspected that there is an inflammatory disease in the adnexal area, by performing a B ultrasound scan of the adnexal area, it is generally possible to find whether there are cysts, fluid accumulation, etc. in the area. Based on the ultrasound blood flow signal and the experience of the sonographer, it is not difficult to find whether the patient has an inflammatory reaction in the adnexal area.
Generally speaking, if it is a benign adnexal mass, it can be diagnosed as inflammation or malignant tumor. However, for some obscure imaging manifestations, it is necessary to combine some other clinical manifestations for comprehensive diagnosis, and it is generally not difficult to confirm the diagnosis.
3. Diagnostic key point 3: Peripheral blood examination
Since it is an inflammatory reaction, for women, the most obvious symptom of the body is an increase in the level of inflammatory factors, especially the level of neutrophils in the peripheral blood. During the inflammation attack, the diagnosis can be made through peripheral blood examination. Of course, adnexitis is not the only cause of increased neutrophil levels in peripheral blood. In the process of exclusion diagnosis, it is also necessary to combine some other symptoms for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment to avoid misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis.
4. Diagnostic key point 4: Abnormal vaginal secretions
The inflammatory reaction in the accessory site can cause the endometrium to also develop some lesions, so in real life, some women will not only show inflammatory reactions, but also be accompanied by an increase in vaginal secretions. Taking leucorrhea as typical clinical manifestations, patients may have increased leucorrhea secretions, leucorrhea with odor , etc. These are complications induced by adnexitis. Comprehensive diagnosis through these phenomena can also determine whether it is adnexitis.
