The common treatment methods for adnexitis generally include medication therapy, physical therapy, and surgical therapy.
For early-stage or mild cases of adnexitis, antibiotics such as cefixime, cefuroxime axetil, and azithromycin are commonly used to control inflammation and alleviate related symptoms. For chronic adnexitis or cases where antibiotic treatment is ineffective, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy may be employed. TCM has effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, thereby improving the pelvic environment and facilitating the absorption of inflammation.
Physical therapies include laser therapy and microwave therapy, which achieve anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects and promote the repair of affected tissues through high-intensity shock waves or high-frequency electromagnetic waves generated over a short period. When adnexitis leads to abscess formation or recurrent episodes and conservative treatments are ineffective, surgical intervention may be required, including laparoscopic surgery or open abdominal surgery, to remove the lesion and prevent complications.
Maintaining good personal hygiene, avoiding excessive or unclean sexual activity, and enhancing immunity can help prevent recurrence of adnexitis.
