Pain in the lower abdomen can bother women at any age. Severe pain indicates the occurrence of infectious and inflammatory processes in the uterus. The area of ​​the female body where the ovaries and fallopian tubes are located is called the appendages. The article will focus on methods of treating the inflammatory process of the appendages.

The organs located in the zone of appendages are responsible for the growth, development and full functioning of the eggs. Since the pelvic organs are closely interconnected, inflammation of the appendages often leads to an inflammatory process in the uterus. Therefore, the sooner treatment begins, the more chances a woman has to completely get rid of the problem.

Many factors affect the condition of the appendages, including causing inflammation.

1. Decreased immune defense of the body. This entails the activation of the activity of those microorganisms that live in the female genital organs.
2. With hypothermia, immunity weakens, which creates the necessary environment for the reproduction of pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms.
3. Poor intimate hygiene.
4. Constant stress and conflict.
5. The presence of sexually transmitted infections, or a high probability of infection. This problem is most typical for women who have multiple sexual partners.
6. Allergy in women to latex, lubricants, sperm.
7. Abortion.

According to statistics, every fifth woman who has recovered from inflammation of the appendages has a high probability of infertility. The reason - in violation of the function of the ovaries and the process of maturation of eggs.

Symptoms

Symptoms of the disease differ in different forms of inflammation - acute and chronic. With any of these forms, a woman is primarily concerned about severe pain in the pelvic area. This is the main symptom of inflammation.

Signs of an acute form:

• dizziness, nausea, weakness and fever;
• increased gas formation, stool disorder;
• noticeable disturbances in the process of urination;
• failure of the menstrual cycle.

If severe pain in the lower abdomen is accompanied by one or more of the above symptoms, there is a high probability of an acute inflammatory process occurring in the appendages.

In the chronic form of inflammation of the appendages, a woman notices purulent discharge from the vagina, she is worried about the aching pain in the abdomen, which radiates to the kidneys. Since there is no acute pain, the condition does not cause concern for the patient, she does not go to the doctor. In fact, with chronic inflammation, the probability of infertility is 90%.

If you experience severe pain in the upper part of the pubis, immediately consult a gynecologist. The transition of the disease from acute to chronic in most cases leads to infertility. Timely therapy will avoid negative consequences.

How to cure?

The inflammatory process can be stopped with medication and with the help of traditional medicine. In the first case, we are talking about antibiotics, tablets and suppositories. Medical therapy is accompanied by bed rest (for acute pain) and a low-carbohydrate diet with reduced salt intake.

Treatment with drugs

Treatment is based on antibiotics. Antibacterial drugs with a wide spectrum of action are usually prescribed. When choosing a drug, the gynecologist proceeds from the cause of the inflammatory process.

The most popular antibiotics for the treatment of inflammation of the appendages:

• Amoxiclav and Ceftriaxone;

• Diflucan and Nystatin;

• Metronidazole.

If there are no visible improvements on the first day after starting the drug, the doctor may replace the prescribed antibiotic with a more effective one. To get a quick result, antibiotics are prescribed in the form of injections. With positive dynamics, injections are canceled, antibiotics in the form of tablets are prescribed instead.

Oophoritis belongs to the group of pelvic inflammatory diseases. And it occurs, unfortunately, quite often in young girls and women from 18 to 25-30 years old. In this article, you will find out.

As drugs for use at home, a specialist can prescribe Sumamed and Clindomycin.

In the complex treatment of inflammation, along with antibiotics, patients are prescribed suppositories. Suppositories effectively eliminate pain and relieve inflammation, restore weakened immunity.

Below is a list of the most effective candles.

1. Polygynax. The drug effectively fights pathogenic microorganisms. Contains antifungal agent - nystatin. Assign 1 candle per day. Course - 7-12 days.
2. Betadine. Candles with a pronounced antimicrobial effect. Assign 1 suppository twice a day.
3. Diclofenac. Non-steroid drug. Reduces pain and inflammation, reduces fever. One candle a day is enough to fight the infection.
4. Terzhinan. The drug quickly solves the problem of inflammation, but has a number of side effects. Therefore, it is used strictly after consultation with a specialist.
5. Hexicon. Suppositories are most effective in cases of detection of infections that are sexually transmitted.
6. Klion-D. The popularity of candles is caused by the absence of a negative impact on the microflora of the vagina.
7. Movalis. Candles have an antipyretic, anti-inflammatory effect.

If the candles cause itching, burning and significant discomfort in the vagina, you should stop using and inform your doctor.

Often, to get rid of pain, the doctor prescribes anti-inflammatory pills to the patient: Ibuprofen, Ketarol, etc. In order to maintain the body's strength during the treatment of appendages, it is recommended to take vitamin-mineral complexes and prebiotics.

Treatment of inflammation of the appendages occurs in a complex under the supervision of a physician. Antibiotics, suppositories, tablets are prescribed. With the permission of the doctor, treatment can be supplemented with folk remedies. After the end of the course of treatment, it is important to pass the final tests to ensure a successful outcome.

What is meant by the term "inflammation of the appendages"? The uterine appendages include the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and ligaments. Doctors classify inflammation of the appendages as or, which can occur in an acute or chronic form. Inflammation of the appendages can be unilateral and bilateral, in some cases this pathological process leads to the development of severe complications.

Inflammation of the uterine appendages occupies the "first place" among all gynecological diseases. If this pathological process was not diagnosed in a timely manner and fully treated, then there is a high probability of development - according to statistics, 20% of infertile women have a history of chronic adnexitis.

Table of contents:

Causes of inflammation of the appendages

Pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms can give a "push" to the progression of the inflammatory process. Doctors distinguish between specific adnexitis, which is caused by gonococci, bacillus and, as well as nonspecific salpingo-oophoritis, which is caused by fungi and viruses.

Infection in the uterine appendages can get in different ways:

• descending path - from other inflamed organs (for example, the appendix or sigmoid colon);
• lymphogenous - the infection penetrates the lymphatic vessels;
• ascending - from the vagina and cervix;
• hematogenous - through the blood vessels.

The following factors can contribute to the development of inflammation of the appendages:

• , past infectious diseases and any chronic foci of infection in the body - all this leads to a decrease / weakening of the defenses;
• promiscuous sex life;
• appendectomy;
• complicated childbirth in history;
• non-compliance / violation of the rules of intimate hygiene;
• abortions, hysteroscopy, insertion / removal of the spiral and any intrauterine procedures.

Symptoms of inflammation of the appendages

Acute adnexitis

The clinical picture in the development of acute adnexitis is very characteristic, so the diagnosis does not present any difficulties for the doctor. The disease always begins acutely with an increase in body temperature to 39 degrees, if there is purulent inflammation, then the woman will be disturbed by severe chills. In the lower abdomen, there are sharp, cutting characters, they can be present on one side with unilateral inflammation of the appendages, or spread throughout the abdomen with bilateral adnexitis. For the acute form of the disease in question, irradiation of pain in the rectum, sacral region or in the lower extremities will be characteristic.

If, at the very beginning of the disease, palpation of the anterior abdominal wall is performed, then its tension, intense pain and symptoms of peritoneal irritation will be determined. In some cases, there are problems with urination - it becomes painful and difficult. Without fail, a woman’s general state of health also worsens - appetite is present and completely absent, obsessive headaches are disturbing.

Examination of the patient on the gynecological chair leads to the detection of serous-purulent (or purulent) discharge from the cervical canal. The doctor cannot clearly determine the size and contours of the appendages, their mobility is limited, and the woman will characterize the examination itself as painful. Laboratory blood tests will determine (ESR), an increased number of leukocytes and a high content of C-reactive protein.

Chronic adnexitis

Inflammation of the appendages can develop from an acute form into a chronic one, this is observed with poor-quality treatment of an acute inflammatory process. Symptoms of chronic adnexitis include dull / aching pain in the lower abdomen with irradiation to the lower back and vagina. Palpation of the abdomen will be moderately painful, and the whole clinical picture will be somewhat blurred.

In the chronic form of inflammation of the appendages, patients complain of a lack of sexual desire, pain during intercourse. When examining a woman on a gynecological chair, the doctor will note the presence of purulent discharge from the cervical canal, the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe appendages during palpation will be painful, their mobility will be limited.

Treatment of inflammation of the appendages

Immediately make a reservation that the disease in question should be treated only in a hospital setting.. It all starts with the appointment of a woman with a diet with a restriction of pepper, salt and carbohydrates and bed rest, at least for the first days of the disease. In acute adnexitis and exacerbation of the chronic form of inflammation, cold is placed on the lower abdomen for patients - this will reduce the intensity of pain and stop the progression of the inflammatory process.

Medical treatment

The main drugs in the treatment of inflammation of the appendages are. Antibacterial drugs are selected that have a wide spectrum of action, and due to the presence of "communities" of pathogenic microorganisms in the body of a sick woman, antibiotics are used immediately for 2 or more. The main purposes include:

• Klaforan (0.5 g 2 times a day intramuscularly) and Gentamicin (80 mg 3 times a day intramuscularly);
• Cefobid (1 g 2 times a day intramuscularly) in combination with Gentamicin;
• Clindamycin (2 g twice a day intramuscularly) and Gentamycin;
• Cefazolin (1 g twice a day intramuscularly) and Ciprofloxacin (100 ml twice a day intravenously);
• Lincomycin 0.6 g three times a day intramuscularly.

Be sure to every woman in the treatment of inflammation of the appendages is prescribed Metronidazole 500 mg three times a day orally (by mouth) or Metrogyl 100 ml twice a day intravenously. In addition, the following appointments can be made as part of therapy:

1. Intravenous infusions of saline solutions, hemodez, glucose, rheopolyglucin in the amount of 2-3 liters - this will be a detoxification therapy that will quickly restore and stabilize the general condition of a woman.
2. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in tablet form or in the form of injections - Ibuprofen, Diclofenac, Ketarol, Faspik, Ketanov, Ibuklin. Often, a woman is also prescribed rectal suppositories with paracetamol, indomethacin. These medications relieve inflammation and reduce the intensity of pain.
3. Patients must be prescribed vitamin therapy, which will help to quickly restore the body's defenses. Most often, drugs with and are used for this.
4. - Suprastin, Tsetrin, Pipolfen.

To relieve an acute inflammatory process, or to introduce chronic adnexitis into remission, doctors use physiotherapy - for example, electrophoresis with lidase or iodine, ultrasound, high-frequency pulsed currents can be prescribed.

Chronic inflammation of the appendages implies regular spa treatment, mud therapy, therapeutic douching, and paraffin therapy help prevent frequent exacerbations of the pathological process.

Traditional medicine in the treatment of inflammation of the appendages

Of course, with acute adnexitis, qualified medical care will be needed, no folk remedies will help a woman to recover quickly and fully. But here, as maintenance therapy and prevention of exacerbations of chronic inflammation of the appendages, some recipes from the category of "folk medicine" will be really effective.

Steam treatments with wormwood

Therefore, at the first symptoms of acute adnexitis, you need to seek qualified medical help. Moreover, the clinical picture of the disease in question cannot be confused with anything.

Tsygankova Yana Alexandrovna, medical observer, therapist of the highest qualification category

Among all gynecological diseases, inflammation of the uterine appendages is very common. Inadequate and untimely treatment of the inflammatory process threatens with a number of consequences and complications, including the likely transition of the disease to a chronic form.

According to statistics, about 20% of women who have overcome andexitis remain infertile.

What is inflammation of the uterine appendages? The uterine appendages include the ligaments, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Their inflammation is called salpingooprit or andexitis. The course of the disease can occur with the development of an inflammatory process on one side (with unilateral salpingo-ophryitis) and on both sides (with bilateral andexitis). Next, we describe the symptoms, causes and features of the treatment of inflammation of the uterus.

Inflammation of the appendages: causes

In the uterine appendages, opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms act as the causative agent of the inflammatory process, capable of causing diseases under certain conditions. Specific adnexitis is caused by gonococci, tuberculosis bacillus and diphtheria bacteria. Nonspecific salpingo-ophritis is caused by streptococci, staphylococci, mycoplasmas, chlamydia, E. coli, viruses, fungi and other microorganisms. Often the disease occurs due to the association of microorganisms. In the appendages of the uterus, the infection can penetrate in various ways:

lymphogenous- through the lymphatic vessels;

hematogenous- through the blood vessels (with tuberculosis of the uterine appendages);

ascending- from the cervix and vagina;

descending- from other inflamed organs (sigmoid colon, appendix).

Factors that contribute to the development of the disease:

hypothermia, stress;

chaotic sex life;

violation of the rules of personal hygiene;

weakening of the body's immunity - diabetes mellitus, HIV infection, a recent infectious disease;

carrying out intrauterine procedures: insertion and removal of the spiral, curettage of the uterine cavity, abortion, hysteroscopy, metrosalpingography;

appendectomy;

complicated childbirth.

Symptoms of adnexitis (inflammation of the appendages):

• Acute adnexitis

The clinical picture of acute salpingoophritis is very characteristic. The onset of the disease is acute, there is an increase in body temperature to 38-39 degrees and chills appear with suppuration of the appendages. There are sharp sharp pains in the lower abdomen.

Depending on whether it is a unilateral or bilateral process, localization of pain is possible in one or both iliac regions. Pain is given to the sacral region, rectum, can spread to the lower extremities.

At the initial stage of the disease, palpation of the anterior abdominal wall allows you to determine its tension. There are symptoms of peritoneal irritation and severe pain. Sometimes there are signs of urination disorders (rapid and painful). The general condition of the patient worsens: headache occurs, nausea and vomiting appear, there is no appetite.

A gynecological examination reveals a purulent or serous-purulent discharge in the cervical canal. When probing, the region of the appendages is painful, their contours and sizes are difficult to clearly determine, the appendages are enlarged, pasty, their mobility is limited. A complete blood count indicates an acceleration of ESR, leukocytosis. There is also an increase in the level of C-reactive protein in the blood.

• Chronic adnexitis

With poor-quality treatment of an acute form of inflammation of the uterine appendages or the complete absence of therapy, a chronic process is possible. The clinical picture of chronic salpingo-oophritis is blurred, periodic phases of exacerbation are distinguished in the disease (usually in autumn and spring).

There is a pain syndrome, its severity does not correspond to disorders in the appendages. In chronic inflammation of the uterine appendages, aching dull pains are characteristic, which are localized in the lower abdomen and radiate to the vagina and lower back.

There is a violation of the menstrual cycle, which is manifested by oligomenorrhea (short, rare menstruation, polymenorrhea (heavy menstruation), almenorrhea (painful menstruation. Any of the menstrual dysfunctions is caused by functional and structural changes in the ovaries (lack of ovulation, hypoestrogenism).

In sick women, there may be complaints about the absence or decrease in sexual desire, pain during intercourse (dyspareunia). The prolonged existence of chronic andexitis adversely affects the digestive (colitis, enterocolitis), urinary (pyelonephritis, cystitis), endocrine and nervous (depression, neuroses) systems. In such patients, there is often a decrease in working capacity, conflicts in the family are not uncommon.

The exacerbation of the process causes an increase in body temperature to subrefil indicators (up to 38 degrees). During a gynecological examination, mucopurulent discharges are released from the cervical canal, sclerotic changes (heaviness) are detected in the area of ​​​​the appendages, when they are palpated, the patient feels pain, the appendages are limited in mobility, pain occurs when the uterus is displaced behind the cervix (due to the development of adhesive disease).

Complications of adnexitis

The danger of salpingoophritis lies in its following complications:

• risk of ectopic pregnancy;
• transition to a chronic form;
• female infertility due to anovulation, obstruction of the fallopian tubes, development of the adhesive process;
• the formation of a tubo-ovarian formation, represented by purulent fusion of the ovary and tube with the formation of an abscess.

From the practice of a doctor:

For the first time I had to deal with a tubo-ovarian complication in the third month of independent work. At night, a young woman was admitted to the clinic with severe symptoms of peritoneal irritation (pelvioperitonitis), severe pain in the lower abdomen and intoxication syndrome.

Previously, she was diagnosed with acute pelvioperitonitis, acute andexitis with a complication in the form of a tubo-ovarian formation. In such cases, the patient must be treated within two hours (intravenous infusion with antibiotics to reduce pain and intoxication), and then urgently operate. After 2 hours, together with the surgeon on duty, she went to the operation. After cutting open my stomach, I almost grabbed my head. Adhesions are all around, there is a massive purulent effusion in the abdomen, on the one hand the appendages are not visible at all, only some kind of conglomerate of the small and large intestines, omentum and alleged appendages is noticeable. With difficulty, together with the young surgeon, they figured out what was what and what needed to be cut off. Despite the fact that the duration of the operation was 2.5 hours, we managed to complete it successfully. The adhesions were dissected, what was needed was removed, the abdominal cavity was washed and drained. As a result, the woman was diagnosed with gonorrhea. It should be said that the operation was very difficult, not every doctor with experience will undertake this. In the future, I had to operate on many tubo-ovarian abscesses, and fortunately, I did not encounter such neglected cases again.

Treatment of salpingoophoritis

For the treatment of inflammation of the appendages, stationary conditions are required. It begins with the introduction of a diet that limits the intake of carbohydrates, pepper and salt, as well as bed rest.

In the acute form of andexitis and exacerbation of the chronic form, patients are prescribed a cold compress on the lower abdomen (to relieve pain and inflammation).

The main point in the treatment of inflammation is the use of antibiotics.

They are selected with a maximum half-life and a wide spectrum of action. Since the disease is often caused by the accumulation of several types of microorganisms, 2 or more drugs are prescribed for antibiotic treatment:

lincomycin - 3 r. per day, 0.6 gr. i / m;

cefazolin - 2 p. per day 1 gr. i / m and ciprofloxacin 2 p. per day, 100 ml IV;

clindamycin - 2 p. per day, 2 gr. together with gentamicin;

cefobid - twice a day, 1 g. together with gentamicin;

klaforan - 2 p. per day for 0.5 - 1 gr. in / and and 3 p. per day gentamicin 80 mg.

Watch a video about inflammation of the appendages in women and draw your own conclusions

The doctor must prescribe the patient metrodinazole 3 r. per day, 500 mg orally or metrogil 2 r. per day, 100 ml IV (if there is a suspicion of an anaerobic infection).

Detoxification therapy is also carried out (intravenous administration of glucose, saline solutions, hemodeses, rheopolyglucin and other substances in a volume of up to 2-3 liters).

In order to relieve pain and reduce signs of inflammation, anti-inflammatory nonsteroidal drugs are prescribed in tablets - Ibuprofen (Faspic, Nurofen, Ibuklin), Ketorolac (Ketarol, Ketanov), Diclofenac (Ortofen, Naklofen, Voltaren, Diklak) and rectal suppositories - Diclofenac, Indomethacin, Paracetamol.

Vitamins (group B, vitamin C) are also prescribed.

Antihistamines (cetrin, pipolen, suprastin) and other allergy pills.

Video with Malysheva on this topic:

To remove the acute process and treat chronic inflammation in the phase without complications, physiotherapy is widely used: electrophoresis of zinc and copper in the phases of the menstrual cycle, ultrasound, electrophoresis with iodine or lidase, pulsed high-frequency currents (DDT, SMT). Also in rehabilitation therapy, injections of aloe, Longidases, FIBS, autohemotherapy, immunomodulators, and so on are used. In the chronic form of andexitis, spa treatment is recommended - therapeutic baths, paraffin, mud and douching.

Inflammation of the uterus is a pathology that is formed due to the ingress of pathogens into the organ cavity. Quite often, inflammation affects both the fallopian tubes and the ovaries. Therefore, in medicine, these diseases are combined into one group "inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs." Doctors in this group of diseases include pathological processes of an inflammatory nature in the uterus and appendages, pelvic peritoneum and adipose tissue of the small pelvis.

Quite often, various infections become the cause of damage to the uterus, for example, and. If such a pathology is detected, the doctor needs to start urgent therapy.

Etiology

The causes of inflammation of the uterus include such risk factors:

• trauma due to difficult childbirth or invasive intervention;
• the presence of another inflammatory disease of an infectious nature;
• excessively active sex life without the use of contraceptives;
• sex during menstruation.

Most often, instrumental abortion and childbirth lead to inflammatory changes in the uterus.

Doctors pay special attention to inflammation during childbearing, and also to inflammation in the postpartum period. The reasons for the appearance of this process can be such factors:

• negligent attitude of obstetricians to the rules of asepsis and antisepsis;
• long and complex birth process;
• childbirth by caesarean section;
• bleeding from the placenta.

Classification

Inflammatory processes in the uterus develop in different forms and affect different areas. In this regard, doctors define three types of ailment:

With endometritis, the endometrium is affected, which lines the inner surface of the organ and is located next to the muscle layer. Inflammation can move from one shell to another, gradually infecting the entire organ. Quite often, during the formation of this pathological process, appendages, pelvic peritoneum and fiber gradually begin to be affected in the uterus.

The uterus in the pelvis of a woman is fixed by special ligaments, muscles and peritoneum. If an inflammatory process is formed in the organ, then, most likely, it will also pass to the peritoneum. As a result of this action, perimetritis is formed. If therapy is not started on time, then the disease has serious consequences for a woman.

Symptoms

The uterine lesion manifests itself in characteristic symptoms. The main symptom is in the lower abdomen. Symptoms of inflammation of the uterus are manifested in such indicators:

• at the beginning of the disease, the pain is unexpressed, and then becomes more intense;
• pain attacks pass to the right side, lumbar zone, leg;
• high body temperature;
• pain during intercourse;
• strong;
• there are failures in the menstrual cycle;
• pathological discharge from the vagina.

Signs of endometritis are characterized by a sharp increase in body temperature, the appearance of chills and a deterioration in the general condition. The patient is overcome by nausea, vomiting, fever, rapid heartbeat and pulse. Women also complain of specific discharge of a gray-yellow hue with an admixture of ichor.

Chronic inflammation of the uterus, as a rule, does not manifest itself. Bleeding can sometimes be noted, the cycle of menstruation is disturbed. In the pathological process, uterine contraction and blood clotting deteriorate. Also, women complain about the appearance of gray and gray-purulent discharge, severe pain attacks of a aching nature in the lower abdomen.

Metroendometritis is characterized by such manifestations:

• high body temperature;
• rapid pulse;
• general malaise;
• pain in the lower abdomen;
• purulent and purulent bloody discharge.

Upon examination, the attending physician performs palpation, as a result of which he diagnoses a strong increase and compaction of the organ. Women complain of pain when the organ is displaced.

With perimetritis, patients show such symptoms - sharp pains, an increase in the size of the abdomen, vomiting, high fever. Frequent urination and pain during bowel movements are also characteristic.

Diagnostics

In order to accurately determine the cause of inflammation of the uterus in women, the gynecologist conducts a gynecological examination in the mirrors. In this case, the doctor can determine inflammation, the degree of development of the disease and an increase in the size of the organ.

Treatment

After the doctor has made a diagnosis, you can decide how to treat inflammation of the uterus. Only a physician can prescribe effective therapy, because the first step is to eliminate the causes of inflammation, and the symptoms will gradually disappear by themselves.

In an acute attack, a woman needs to be hospitalized. The patient is prescribed the following methods of therapy:

• antibiotics - to eliminate the cause;
• the introduction of water-salt solutions for detoxification purposes;
• vitamins - C, B, E; folic acid;
• antihistamines;
• hormones;
• drugs that improve blood circulation;
• physiotherapy - to relieve swelling and inflammation;
• cold compresses for pain relief;
• bed rest.

The uterus can become inflamed again if not fully treated. Therefore, it is important for the patient to take a responsible approach to all procedures. As part of physiotherapy, the patient is prescribed UHF and infrared laser therapy.

In some complicated situations, when inflammation passes to the appendages, doctors perform surgery using the laparoscopic method.

Inflammation of the uterus after childbirth or with infectious diseases can only be eliminated by a complex method. Therefore, when receiving drug treatment, women are advised to observe the correct daily routine, not to have sex, to refuse intrauterine devices, to choose a different type of contraception. It is also advisable for the sexual partner to be screened for infections.

A disease such as inflammation of the uterus is undesirable to treat folk remedies. Doctors advise not to start therapy on your own, as other complications may begin to develop that will significantly worsen a woman's health.

Complications

If the doctor cannot decide how to properly cure the inflammation of the uterus or the therapy has been ineffective, then the patient may develop various complications. Infections begin to spread throughout the body through the blood, lymph, fallopian tubes, cervix and vagina. This can lead to the following complications:

• the transition of the disease to the chronic type;
• damage to the fallopian tubes and appendages;
• the formation of adhesions in the peritoneum;

Prevention

To prevent the development of the disease, women who fall into the risk group need to carefully approach the choice of drugs or other means of contraception, monitor the hygiene of the external genital organs, especially during menstruation. If an abortion was performed, then the patient needs to undergo a course of therapy for infections.

Jaundice is a pathological process, the formation of which is affected by a high concentration of bilirubin in the blood. The disease can be diagnosed in both adults and children. Any disease can cause such a pathological condition, and they are all completely different.

Intestinal obstruction is a severe pathological process, which is characterized by a violation of the process of release of substances from the intestine. This disease most often affects people who are vegetarians. There are dynamic and mechanical intestinal obstruction. If the first symptoms of the disease are detected, it is necessary to go to the surgeon. Only he can accurately prescribe treatment. Without timely medical attention, the patient may die.
