Introduction
Gynecological adnexal inflammation generally refers to salpingo-oophoritis. In most cases, symptoms of adnexal inflammation may include changes in pulse, redness and swelling of the cervix, lower abdominal pain, increased vaginal discharge, and a sensation of abdominal fullness or pressure. Patients are advised to follow medical instructions for symptomatic treatment. Additionally, other possible symptoms include vulvar itching and irregular vaginal bleeding.

Gynecological adnexal inflammation generally refers to salpingitis. In most cases, symptoms of adnexal inflammation may include changes in pulse rate, cervical redness and swelling, lower abdominal pain, increased vaginal discharge, and a sensation of heaviness in the abdomen. Patients are advised to follow medical guidance for symptomatic treatment. A detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Pulse Changes

In patients with adnexal inflammation, the pulse rate usually does not exceed 100 beats per minute. However, if the disease becomes prolonged and abscesses develop, the general condition may deteriorate, leading to weakness and fatigue. The pulse rate may then exceed 100 beats per minute. Women may also experience sweating and pallor. It is recommended that patients maintain a semi-recumbent position, which helps localize and absorb the inflammation. Additionally, they should maintain a diet high in calories, protein, and vitamins.

2. Cervical Redness and Swelling

Women may experience varying degrees of redness and swelling of the cervix. Personal hygiene should be carefully maintained. Excessive fatigue should be avoided, along with consumption of spicy, stimulating, or cold foods. Adequate rest is important.

3. Lower Abdominal Pain

Adnexal inflammation is usually caused by infection with multiple pathogens, such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, hemolytic streptococcus, and Escherichia coli. After infection, the adnexal area becomes inflamed due to irritation, resulting in lower abdominal pain. Bed rest is recommended, and local massage may help accelerate blood circulation and reduce abdominal discomfort.

4. Increased Vaginal Discharge

Local inflammatory stimulation can lead to gradually increased secretions, which are expelled from the body through the vagina. Treatment may include medications such as Baofukang suppositories, metronidazole suppositories, or tinidazole suppositories, used according to medical advice.

5. Sensation of Abdominal Heaviness

If the condition is severe and left untreated, inflammation in the pelvic region may progressively increase and accumulate locally, causing a sensation of heaviness in the abdomen. Under medical supervision, patients may take anti-inflammatory medications such as azithromycin dispersible tablets, doxycycline hydrochloride tablets, or levofloxacin hydrochloride tablets to control and reduce internal inflammation.

In addition, other symptoms such as vulvar itching and irregular vaginal bleeding may occur. If significant discomfort arises, prompt medical consultation is recommended to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.

Is pain on both sides of the lower abdomen due to fallopian tube pain?
There are indeed fallopian tubes located on both sides of the lower abdomen in women, but not all pain on both sides of the lower abdomen is caused by the fallopian tubes. Sometimes, it may result from adnexal inflammation. Conventionally, the adnexa include the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and surrounding soft tissues. Therefore, bilateral lower abdominal pain is not necessarily due to the fallopian tubes; it may also stem from ovarian inflammation or inflammation involving the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and surrounding soft tissues.
