Generally speaking, unmarried women who are not sexually active are less likely to get adnexitis, but that is not to say that they will never get it. The following are some of the common ways that pathogenic bacteria can enter the internal genitalia through non-sexual means. Adnexitis Among the female internal genital organs, the fallopian tubes and ovaries are called the uterine appendages. Adnexitis means inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. However, tubal and ovarian inflammation are often combined with parametritis and pelvic peritonitis, and it is not easy to distinguish them in diagnosis, so that pelvic peritonitis and parametritis are also classified as adnexitis. Acute adnexitis symptoms Generally speaking, acute adnexitis symptoms are more obvious, with women suffering from sudden fever, chills and severe pain in the lower abdomen. In contrast, chronic adnexitis abdominal pain is sometimes mild and sometimes severe, sometimes only one side of the abdominal pain, or vague pain, but often accompanied by increased leucorrhea, back pain, menstrual disorders and other symptoms. 1, direct invasion The most common is appendicitis. In patients with appendicitis, due to delayed medical attention, bacteria can break through the appendiceal plasma membrane and flow into the right adnexa with pus, or even accumulate the left adnexa. This is more common in clinical practice. 2. Lymphatic transmission In patients with enterocolitis, especially the more severe colitis, pathogenic bacteria can spread from the colon to the genitals via the lymphatic vessels. If you have colitis, the germs in the intestinal cavity can enter the left ovary and fallopian tubes via the lymphatic vessels. 3. Blood-borne transmission is mainly seen in tuberculosis, such as pulmonary tuberculosis, where the tubercle bacilli can invade the genitals via the bloodstream, causing the patient to develop genital tuberculosis. This condition is more common. 4, non-sexual invasion of STD-causing bacteria STDs are very popular today and can enter the genital tract via non-sexual routes. The most common non-sexual ways are staying in hostels, bathing in the bathtub, sitting on the toilet, wearing bathrobes, etc. 5.Other ways. The germs will also enter the internal genitalia upstream. Special tip: Once an unmarried woman suffers from adnexitis, it should not be ignored and should be treated in time to avoid the condition from becoming severe and becoming chronic adnexitis, blocking the fallopian tubes and leading to ectopic pregnancy or infertility, causing lifelong regret.
