Bilateral lower abdominal pain
Introduction

Acute tearing pain can be caused by rupture of the ovarian tumor. Unbearable pain in refractory pain may be caused by a neurological invasion of advanced cancer. Patients should have improvement in clinical conditions within 3 days of starting treatment, such as fever, abdominal tenderness or rebound tenderness reduction, reduction of uterine and accessory tenderness, and reduction of cervical pain.
Cause
Cause
Causes: The main causes of pelvic inflammatory disease are:
1. Postpartum or post-abortion infection: maternal physique is weak after delivery, the cervix is out due to residual blood turbidity, not closed in time, there is a placenta peeling surface in the uterine cavity, or birth canal damage, or placenta, fetal membrane residue Etc., or premature sexual life after childbirth, pathogens invade the uterine cavity, easily cause infection; spontaneous abortion, medical abortion, vaginal bleeding for too long, or tissue remains in the uterine cavity, or artificial abortion surgery aseptic Post-abortion infections can occur if the operation is not strict.
2, intrauterine surgery after infection: such as placement or removal of intrauterine birth control ring, curettage, tubal fluid, hysterosalpingography, hysteroscopy, submucosal uterine myomectomy, etc., due to preoperative Sexual life or surgical disinfection is not strict or inappropriate preoperative indications, chronic inflammation of the genital tract, acute exacerbation and spread by surgical intervention; some patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery, or do not follow the doctor's advice after surgery, the same Can cause bacterial infection, causing pelvic inflammatory disease.

4, the direct spread of inflammation of adjacent organs: the most common is appendicitis, peritonitis, because they are adjacent to the female internal reproductive organs, inflammation can be directly spread, causing pelvic inflammatory disease; when suffering from chronic cervicitis, inflammation can also pass the lymphatic circulation, Causes pelvic connective tissue inflammation.
5, the acute onset of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.

In addition to the history of pelvic inflammatory disease, the mass is a sausage-like type, the wall of the capsule is thin, and there are adhesions around it; while the ovarian cysts are generally round or oval, with no surrounding Adhesive, free to move. The pelvic inflammatory accessory mass adheres to the surrounding area, is inactive, and sometimes is confused with ovarian cancer. The inflammatory mass is cystic and the ovarian cancer is solid. B-mode ultrasound is helpful for identification.

Lower abdomen bulge, pain and soreness in the lumbosacral region, often worsened after exertion, after sexual intercourse, before and after menstruation.
Diagnosis
Differential diagnosis
Differential diagnosis:
First, vaginitis
Trichomonas vaginitis: more secretions, foamy, burning, tingling.
Fungal vaginitis: genital itching, local erosion, ulceration with burning pain, dysuria, frequent urination. Increased secretions.
Bacterial vaginitis: more odor, increased vaginal discharge. Common complications occur simultaneously with cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease.
Second, cervicitis
In acute inflammation, the cervix is congested, red and swollen, abdominal pain, and sometimes body temperature rises. After switching to chronic inflammation, vaginal secretions increase. With backache, pain, falling feeling, every time before and after menstruation, there are dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorders.
Third, pelvic inflammatory disease
Lower abdomen pain, pain and lumbosacral pain, increased menstrual flow, menstrual disorders and so on. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can easily cause inflammation of the fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus and other parts, which can lead to infertility and various complications.
Fourth, attachment inflammation
The most common symptoms of acute attachment inflammation are fever and abdominal pain. The fever can reach above 38 °C, accompanied by chills. The abdominal pain is mostly caused by severe pain in the lower abdomen. The compression pain is intensified, and sometimes the lower abdomen is more painful than the other side. . Chronic attachment inflammation has no obvious fever and pain, only feeling soreness or discomfort in the waist, or swelling of the lower abdomen.
