What are the causes of infertility due to adnexitis?

Adnexitis mainly refers to the two major organs, the fallopian tubes and ovaries. Any problem in either of these will affect normal conception. Common causes of infertility caused by adnexitis include pelvic inflammatory disease, antisperm antibodies, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, pelvic meningitis, etc. Patients need to be examined and treated from these aspects.

1. What are the causes of infertility due to adnexitis?

1. In case of adnexitis or pelvic inflammatory disease, the inflammation can cause the female body to have an immune response to male sperm, resulting in the appearance of anti-sperm antibodies, anti-endometrial antibodies, etc., which can lead to immune infertility.

2. Adnexae refer to the fallopian tubes and ovaries. Inflammation of the two is collectively called adnexitis. Adhesions formed by adnexitis, such as fallopian tube adhesions and nearby peritoneal adhesions, usually affect the transport function of the fallopian tubes, making it impossible to take the egg into the fallopian tubes, thereby hindering the meeting and combination of the egg and sperm, and causing female infertility.

3. Laparoscopy can detect early endometriosis or the coexistence of adnexitis. Endometriosis is also one of the main causes of female infertility and should be treated accordingly.

Among the female internal reproductive organs, the fallopian tubes and ovaries are called uterine appendages. Adnexitis refers to inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. However, fallopian tube and oophoritis are often accompanied by parametrial connective tissue inflammation and pelvic peritonitis, and it is difficult to distinguish them during diagnosis. Therefore, pelvic peritonitis and parametrial connective tissue inflammation are also classified as adnexitis. Among pelvic organ inflammations, salpingitis is the most common. Due to the proximity of anatomical sites, salpingitis, oophoritis, and pelvic peritonitis often occur simultaneously.

2. What are the symptoms of adnexitis?

1. Abdominal pain

Many women experience severe abdominal pain, which is caused by inflammation. Adnexitis is one of them. Some patients will experience persistent pain and it is difficult to bear. They should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

2. Irregular menstruation

Patients with adnexitis may also experience menstrual abnormalities. Frequent menstruation and increased menstrual flow are relatively common, which may be caused by pelvic congestion and ovarian dysfunction. Some patients will begin to experience abdominal pain a week before their period, which becomes more severe as the period approaches.

3. Fever

If women accidentally develop adnexitis, many patients will often experience fever symptoms, and may experience chills or shivering. The accelerated pulse rate and body temperature will also be proportional. If the two are not proportional, the inflammation may continue to spread.
