Summary
Inflammatory diseases of adnexae significantly disrupt menstrual function, with painful menstruation and irregular cycles being common. Chronic bilateral adnexitis shows the most severe menstrual disturbances in women.
Area of Science:
- Gynecology
- Reproductive Health
- Clinical Medicine
Background:
- Inflammatory diseases of the adnexae (IDA) can impact women's reproductive health.
- Menstrual irregularities are a potential consequence of gynecological conditions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate changes in menstrual function among women with IDA.
- To compare menstrual patterns in women with IDA to a healthy control group.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of menstrual function data from two periods (1979-1984 and 1985-1986).
- Inclusion of healthy women of fertile age as a control group.
- Analysis of menstrual characteristics including volume, pain, and cycle regularity.
Main Results:
- A significant portion (41.17%) of patients experienced meagre or abundant menstruation.
- Menstrual cycle disturbances varied based on the localization of the inflammatory process.
- Chronic bilateral adnexitis was associated with the most significant menstrual disturbances.
- Painful menstruation (algodysmenorrhea) was a primary complaint and occurred more frequently in women with IDA compared to controls.
- Disturbed menstrual rhythm was also noted.
Conclusions:
- IDA significantly affects menstrual function, manifesting as altered menstruation volume, painful periods, and irregular cycles.
- Algomenorrhea and disrupted menstrual rhythm are key clinical indicators in the evolution of IDA.
- These findings highlight the importance of considering menstrual changes in the diagnosis and management of adnexal inflammation.
