What is Adnexitis?

Adnexitis is a serious condition where there is infection and inflammation of the female pelvic organs, specifically the fallopian tubes and ovaries. It can present with abdominal pain, fever and foul vaginal discharge, and requires medical treatment. Some cases but not all are related to sexual activity and sexually transmitted diseases (STD). It is possible to get adnexitis without an STD. Delayed treatment can lead to infertility due to damage to the female reproductive organs.

Typical Symptoms of Adnexitis

Fever
Increase in vaginal discharge
Abdominal pain
Right lower abdominal pain
History of sexually transmitted infection
Pain around the belly button area
Pain in the pelvis- the lowest part of the abdomen, between the belly button and groin
Lower left abdomen or tummy pain

Diagnostic Questions for Adnexitis

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

Do you have a fever?
Have you had more vaginal discharge lately?
Do you have a stomach ache?
Do you have pain in your lower right abdomen?
Have you ever had a sexually transmitted disease such as gonorrhea or chlamydia?

Treatment of Adnexitis

Treatment is usually with antibiotics. These can be given orally or through injection in a hospital for serious cases. The doctor may also prescribe anti-inflammatory and pain medications. In severe cases, surgery may be needed to clean out the infection.
