Inflammation of the appendages: treatment at home

According to statistics, approximately 60% of diseases of the female reproductive system develop against the background of inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries - appendages. Treatment of inflammation of the appendages is a long process, including drug therapy and the use of folk remedies. The disease is called salpingoophoritis or adnexitis. Rarely, there are conditions when the process affects only the ovaries - this is oophoritis, or only the fallopian tubes - salpingitis.

Disease development factors and symptoms

In a healthy body, the appendages are sterile and do not have pathogenic microflora. The inflammatory process develops when the infection penetrates from the uterus and vagina (ascending) or from the organs located above (descending). The causative agents of the disease are:

1. Specific microflora, for example, gonococci. In this case, the inflammatory process is most acute, causing serious complications.
2. Pathogenic microorganisms - penetrating into the body, cause an inflammatory-infectious process.
3. Conditionally pathogenic bacteria - are constantly present in the body, without causing harm with a small number and a strong immune system. When favorable conditions are created, they begin to actively multiply, causing disease. Conditionally pathogenic bacteria include streptococci, staphylococci, Escherichia coli, etc.

• weakened immune system;
• hypothermia;
