Unsafe sex is the root cause of gynecological diseases in general, including appendages. Improper hygiene of the intimate area will cause gynecological diseases such as vaginitis, cervical ectropion, cervicitis and appendicitis. During menstruation, a woman's cervix and vagina are usually wider than usual so that menstruation can pass out easily. This is also the time when the vaginal environment is often wet, creating conditions for bacteria to enter and cause disease from there, creating opportunities for gynecological diseases including appendicitis to form and develop. Having too many births, frequent abortions, and unsafe abortions will damage your reproductive organs and make it very difficult to recover. Besides, after giving birth, abortion, miscarriage, women's resistance is also significantly reduced. These two factors create conditions for factors harmful to health, especially the private area, to have the opportunity to develop, spread and cause gynecological diseases and appendicitis. Using unsafe medical procedures: Medical procedures such as: IUD insertion, IUD insertion, ... if not performed properly, not sterile, performed by medical staff inexperienced can lead to inflammation of the genital organs including appendages. Inappropriate clothing: Regularly wearing clothes that are too tight, especially underwear, will make the intimate area often pressurized and wet. Prolonged wet conditions will create favorable conditions for bacteria and fungi to penetrate and grow in the intimate area, specifically vaginitis. Long-term vaginitis can lead to the infection going up the fallopian tubes, causing inflammation and blockage of the fallopian tubes and then spreading to the surrounding areas. Long-lasting gynecological inflammation: The parts of a woman's genital organs are closely related to each other. If an infected organ is not completely treated, or the infection has worsened, it will affect other genital organs, including the appendix. 3. Consequences of appendicitis Adnexitis is divided into acute appendicitis and chronic adnexitis. If acute appendicitis is not treated definitively and in time, it will turn to chronic appendicitis. Chronic appendicitis causes a great deal of discomfort to the patient and can hardly be completely cured, the bacteria are still present, so an occasional flare-up occurs. Not stopping there, appendicitis also causes a series of dangerous consequences.
High ectopic pregnancy: When the appendages are inflamed, the fallopian tubes are at high risk of inflammation as well. Inflammation of the fallopian tubes can lead to blockage and narrowing, preventing the egg from going deep into the uterus to implant. Therefore, the egg can implant outside the uterus and cause an ectopic pregnancy, which is very dangerous for the woman. Infertility: Inflammation of the appendages will affect the egg production process, reducing the quality of eggs. At the same time, inflammation of the fallopian tubes can completely block the fallopian tubes, making it impossible for the egg to meet the sperm and hinder the fertilization process. If you can conceive, but the egg quality is not good, it will also greatly affect the development of the fetus in the future. Affects other parts of the body, especially the genitals. If the inflammation of the appendix lasts for a long time, it will cause bacteria to spread to the surrounding parts and then cause disease there and lead to a series of other gynecological diseases: Vaginitis, vulva, metritis, even cancer cervicitis,... Affects quality of life: Prolonged appendicitis makes the patient's body weak, often tired, sick, feeling nauseous and vomiting. Adnexitis can cause pelvic peritonitis, generalized peritonitis, sepsis, and possibly death. Adnexitis needs to be treated early to prevent these consequences as shared above. Usually, doctors will use antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs (oral or vaginal form).
