Chilled appendages. Symptoms in women, treatment, suppositories, consequences

Chilled appendages (adnexitis) - This is a pathological condition of ovarian tissue, which is accompanied by their acute or chronic inflammation. In women, this disease manifests itself as the most common symptom in the form of attacks of spasmodic pain, which is localized in the lower abdomen.

The main danger of this ailment is the high probability of developing dangerous complications. The most severe consequence of hypothermia of the appendages is a destructive change in the tissue structure of the ovaries, as well as the loss of fertility.

Symptoms of chilled appendages in women have a local manifestation, when a feeling of discomfort, pain, affects only that part of the body where the diseased ovaries are located. The neglected forms of adnexitis are characterized by the presence of a large number of signs of a pathological state of the organs of the reproductive system.

In this case, the pain syndrome extends not only to the area of ​​the lower abdomen, but also affects the lumbar spine, is felt in the central part of the abdominal cavity. In addition to uncomfortable sensations, various menstrual irregularities are added.

Views

The species classification of the painful condition of the appendages, which were chilled as a result of severe hypothermia of the body, is carried out according to the form of the course of the disease.

Acute adnexitis

The acute form of adnexitis is characterized by the presence of intense symptoms, which manifests itself in the first 2-3 days after the appendages have been chilled. The first signs of this type of disease are attacks of severe pain in the lower abdomen, a rapid rise in body temperature, the presence of atypical vaginal discharge.

Women with signs of acute adnexitis should be immediately hospitalized in the gynecological department. Self-treatment is unacceptable, since it is fraught with the transition of the disease into a latent state with a repeated exacerbation after the slightest decrease in immunity.

Chronic adnexitis

This form of a painful condition of the appendages is characterized by a sluggish inflammation of the ovaries. For a long period of time, a woman may not feel any signs of pathology, or the symptoms present are insignificant. During the off-season, during the ARVI disease, as well as the next hypothermia of the body, another exacerbation of adnexitis occurs.

Chronic inflammation of the chilled appendages is much more dangerous than the acute form of this ailment. This is due to the fact that the latent course of the disease leads to atrophic changes in ovarian tissue with further loss of their reproductive function. The most striking symptom of chronic adnexitis is an unstable menstrual cycle.

Symptoms and Signs

Chilled appendages (symptoms in women are manifested by general disorders in the work of the reproductive system) - these are complaints on the unsatisfactory state of health that can be heard from women who have suffered severe hypothermia organism.

The following signs of adnexitis are distinguished, which indicate the pathological state of the ovaries:

• spasmodic, sharp, aching or cutting pains that are localized in the lower abdomen, but can also radiate to the lumbar region and the anus (with chilled appendages, the discomfortable sensations have an average duration and intensity of their manifestations);
• various irregularities in the menstrual cycle, which may be manifested by the absence of ovulation, too long or short periods;
• purulent, foamy, brown discharge from the vaginal cavity, the presence of which indicates the development of an acute inflammatory process, as well as the possible addition of a bacterial infection;
• itching of the vaginal mucosa;
• pain during intimacy with a sexual partner;
• increased body temperature and fever (with acute adnexitis, fever can reach 39 degrees Celsius, and the chronic form of the disease is manifested by a subfebrile temperature within 37 degrees);
• chills and increased sweating;
• periodic occurrence of dizziness, increased heart rate, which in its manifestations resembles attacks of tachycardia;
• decrease in local and general immunity, the protective functions of which are deteriorated due to inflammatory process (in this case, the risk of infection with a concomitant disease of an infectious nature increases origin);
• changes in the clinical indicators of blood composition, which is expressed in an increase in the quantitative indicator of ESR and leukocyte group cells;
• general malaise, physical weakness and fatigue after minor exertion.

Acute inflammation of the ovaries can spread to the organs of the excretory system. For example, in addition to the above symptoms, a woman begins to feel false urges in toilet, there is a burning sensation during urination, irritation of the mucous membrane is observed urethra.

A similar clinical picture is typical for most cases of hypothermia of the appendages.

Causes

Chilled appendages (symptoms in women appear from the first days of the development of pathology) - these are complaints that can be heard from women who experience aching pain in the lower abdomen.

The following causes of the painful condition of the ovaries are distinguished:

• long-term stay on the street in clothes that do not correspond to weather conditions;
• swimming in lake or river water, the temperature of which is not comfortable for the female body;
• prolonged sitting on cold surfaces, which led to severe hypothermia of the organs of the genitourinary system;
• urination in the open air when the organs of the female reproductive system are exposed to low temperatures or gusty winds.

The likelihood of an inflammatory process caused by hypothermia of the appendages increases several times, if the following factors affect the woman's genitourinary system:

• chronic infections of the internal genital organs that have not been properly cured;
• previously transferred intrauterine interventions, as well as complications of surgical operations;
• leading a promiscuous sex life with frequent changes of partners and neglect of barrier contraception;
• alcohol abuse, tobacco smoking, drug use.

Inflammation of the appendages as a result of hypothermia of the body is quite common in women with reduced immunity, who deplete their body with diets, refuse a large amount of nutritious products. The reason that caused adnexitis is established by the results of a gynecological examination.

Diagnostics

Chilled appendages (symptoms in women come on suddenly) is a phrase that can be heard from women who dress not for the weather. In order to establish the fact of the pathological state of the ovaries, it is necessary to seek medical help from a gynecologist. In a state polyclinic, an appointment with a specialist in this profile is free.

In a private clinic, an initial examination by a gynecologist will cost on average 6950 rubles, and with a more detailed consultation - 9930 rubles.

The cost of a second examination after undergoing a course of drug treatment will be 8440 rubles. After completing the initial examination, the doctor must prescribe the patient to undergo laboratory and hardware diagnostic methods, the main types of which are indicated in the table below.

Examination types	What does this diagnostic method show?
Clinical blood test	This type of examination allows you to detect a possible increase in ESR and leukocyte cells. Such diagnostic results always indicate that an acute or chronic inflammatory process is developing in the patient's body. As a biological material, capillary blood is used, which is collected from the bundle of the ring finger. The average cost of this diagnostic method is 280 rubles.
Microbiological blood test	Microbiological examination of blood is carried out in order to exclude the factor of infection of the body with bacterial or viral infections. For example, in order to timely identify HIV, syphilis and other especially dangerous diseases, the presence of which increases the vulnerability of the female reproductive system. The average price of a microbiological blood test is in the range of 1,700 rubles.
Vaginal cleanliness smear	This type of diagnosis involves the collection of samples of mucus that is contained inside the patient's vagina. The smear is sent to a biochemical laboratory to detect the possible presence of infectious microorganisms. With the help of this method of examination, the gynecologist excludes the factor of inflammation of the ovaries of a bacterial origin. The cost of this type of research is 800 rubles.
Ultrasound	Ultrasound of the appendages is considered one of the most informative methods for diagnosing adnexitis. This type of examination of the female reproductive system is absolutely painless and takes no more than 15 minutes. Ultrasound shows the condition of the tissues of the appendages, pathological and degenerative changes in their structure. The average price for ultrasound examination of the appendages is 1800 rubles.

After the completion of the stage of complex diagnostics, the gynecologist draws up an individual treatment plan for the patient, which is aimed at eliminating the signs of the inflammatory process in the appendages. At the same time, those drugs are selected that are most effective for the treatment of congested ovaries.

Treatment methods

Chilled appendages (symptoms in women appear with bouts of pulling pain in the lower abdomen and gradually spread to lumbar spine) - these are the words that can be heard from girls who prefer wearing short skirts in winter of the year.

Treatment of a painful condition of the ovaries involves the use of drugs, folk remedies and physiotherapy methods.

Azithromycin

Azithromycin is an antibacterial agent that has anti-inflammatory properties. This drug is prescribed if the cause of inflammation of the uterine appendages consists not only in hypothermia of the body, but also in a smear of vaginal mucus, pathogenic microflora.

Azithromycin is available in capsule form with a dosage of 250 and 500 mg. To achieve a positive therapeutic effect, it is necessary to take this drug in 2 capsules (500 mg of antibiotic) 1 time per day. This drug is used regardless of the meal schedule.

The duration of therapy is determined individually by the gynecologist, depending on the acute inflammatory process. The average price of this medication ranges from 70 to 82 rubles.

Zedex

Cedex is a drug that comes in the form of a yellow powder. This medication belongs to the pharmacological group of 3rd generation cephalosporin antibiotics. Cedex has a pleasant cherry smell, and on the basis of this powdery substance, a drinking suspension is prepared, which is intended to be taken.

This drug exhibits pronounced bactericidal activity against most bacterial microorganisms of various strains, including gram-positive and gram-negative agents. Drinking suspension based on Zedex powder has an excellent anti-inflammatory effect.

This remedy must be taken at 200-400 mg per day. The duration of the therapeutic course should be determined by the attending physician. The average cost of the drug Cedex is 759 rubles.

Diclofenac suppositories

Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug in the form of rectal suppositories. This drug is used for the complex therapy of adnexitis, which arose as a result of severe hypothermia of the body.

The advantage of using this remedy is that the candles do not contain antibacterial components, but at the same time, they allow suppressing pain in the lower abdomen, as well as helping to relieve inflammation in appendages.

The dosage regimen for Diclofenac involves the use of 1-2 suppositories per day, which are injected into the rectal cavity. The duration of therapy is determined by the attending gynecologist. The average cost of Diclofenac candles is from 35 to 56 rubles. per pack of 5 suppositories.

Douching with chamomile decoction

The use of this method of alternative treatment does not require deep knowledge in the field of gynecology.

To prepare a ready-made decoction of chamomile, you must perform the following steps:

1. Take 1 tbsp. l. of this medicinal plant, and then pour into a metal container.
2. The specified amount of dry chamomile should be poured into 1 liter of water.
3. After that, the future medicine should boil over low heat for 5 minutes.
4. After cooling, the chamomile decoction is ready for use.

The use of this remedy for alternative therapy involves its introduction into the vagina. To do this, a decoction of chamomile is taken into an enema, and then the mucous membrane and tissues of the internal genital organs are irrigated with it.

This procedure must be performed 1-2 times a day after the planned hygiene of the intimate area. A decoction of chamomile allows you to eliminate signs of the inflammatory process in the appendages, and also has an antiseptic effect. The average duration of the course of treatment is 10-15 days.

Using anti-inflammatory tampons

Anti-inflammatory tampons can be made by yourself at home. This will require ingredients in the form of 1 aloe leaf, 1 tsp. l. honey, as well as a sterile gauze bandage.

Anti-inflammatory tampons for the treatment of chilled appendages are as follows:

1. The aloe leaf is thoroughly washed under a stream of clean water.
2. After this, this medicinal plant is interrupted to a state of uniform green mass.
3. Then the crushed aloe leaf is mixed with the specified amount of honey.
4. The resulting gruel is spread on a piece of gauze bandage, and then a mixture of aloe and honey is wrapped in this material.

The formed tampon is inserted into the vaginal cavity, where it should be for 2-3 hours. After the specified period of time, the anti-inflammatory agent is removed from the organs of the woman's reproductive system.

The therapeutic procedure is performed 1-2 times a day, depending on the severity of the pathology. Before each treatment procedure, a new swab with fresh ingredients must be prepared. The duration of treatment is at least 12 days.

Physiotherapy electrophoresis

Treatment of adnexitis, which has developed against the background of severe hypothermia of the body, involves the mandatory use of electrophoresis. The application of this method is aimed at activating the local blood circulation in the tissues of the internal genital organs of a woman.

This physiotherapy procedure is performed as follows:

1. The woman goes to the physiotherapy room, and then sits on the couch, taking a supine position.
2. On the surface of the patient's lower abdomen, 2 electrodes are fixed, which are installed in the area of ​​the right and left appendages.
3. A current of no more than 20 mA is then applied to this electrical device.
4. The woman feels dry heat, which spreads over the entire surface of the lower abdomen, and also penetrates into the abdominal cavity.

Depending on direct medical indications, medicinal solutions with anti-inflammatory properties can be applied to the patient's skin.

Dry heat enhances the absorption effect of liquid medicines in the tissue of the inflamed appendages. The average duration of 1 session of heating by electrophoresis is 20 minutes. During the week, 2 to 3 physiotherapy sessions may be required.

Possible consequences and complications

The lack of timely started therapy aimed at suppressing the inflammatory process, as well as restoring the functions of chilled appendages, is fraught with the development of the following complications and negative consequences for the female body:

• the occurrence of adhesions inside the fallopian tubes, which eventually leads to a reduction in their lumen;
• violation of the menstrual cycle, which becomes unstable and unpredictable (in this case, there are too short, prolonged periods, or they are completely absent for a long period time);
• the occurrence of an ectopic pregnancy, the therapy of which requires a surgical operation, which is dangerous with the development of even more serious complications associated with the period of postoperative rehabilitation;
• acquired infertility, which is considered the most severe consequence of acute and chronic adnexitis;
• spontaneous miscarriage, which is the physiological reaction of the female body to the inability to bear a healthy child in conditions of chronic inflammation of the organs of the reproductive system;
• a decrease in local immunity with the further addition of a bacterial or fungal infection (in this case, vaginosis or candidiasis may develop);
• the formation of benign or oncological tumors that have arisen in the tissues of the appendages, which have been exposed to chronic inflammation for a long period of time.

Symptoms of chilled appendages in women are manifested by attacks of spasmodic, pulling or acute pain in the lower abdomen. In gynecology, this disease is referred to as "adnexitis". The essence of the pathology lies in the fact that the inflammatory process caused by severe hypothermia of the body affects the fallopian tubes and ovaries.

In the process of the development of the disease, a woman has an increase in body temperature, atypical discharge from the vagina appears, and discomfort is felt during intercourse. Treatment of chilled appendages includes taking medications, using traditional medicine recipes, as well as heating with electrophoresis.
