Spikes in the small pelvis

Many women have heard of such a violation as spikes in a small pelvis, but not all have an idea of ​​what it is and what this disease is dangerous. Let's look at it in more detail, and we will dwell in detail on the symptoms and treatment of the disease.

What are the main symptoms of the presence of adhesions in the pelvis?

To begin with, it is necessary to tell what is meant by this disease in medicine. So, spikes located in a small pelvis are a violation in which between organs localized in the cavity of the small pelvis, connective tissue strands are formed, spikes, as they are called. As a result, there is a violation of the freedom of movement of organs, which is characterized by a kind of symptomatology.

If we consider the symptoms of the presence of adhesions in the small pelvis, it should be noted that the disorder itself can occur in 3 clinical forms, each of which is characterized by the following symptoms:

  1. The acute form. It is characterized by a bright symptomatology, which tends to rapidly worsen the overall well-being of patients. So, the existing pain in the lower abdomen with time only intensifies. Often they are associated with nausea, vomiting, which indirectly indicates a violation of metabolic processes in the digestive tract. This form is characterized by an increase in body temperature, an increase in heart rate. During palpation of the abdomen, the patient complains of acute soreness, indicating intestinal obstruction. In the absence of treatment, a phenomenon such as acute renal failure leading to hypovolemic shock and death can develop.
  2. Intermittent form. Characterized by the periodic appearance of pain in the lower abdomen, a disorder of the intestine. A distinctive feature is the fact that with this form, diarrhea alternates with constipation.
  3. Chronic form. It must be said that in such situations, the disease can not be felt at all, or it can manifest itself in periodic pains in the lower abdomen. In this case, they are always amplified after a long and heavy physical exertion, a change in the position of the body, during sexual intercourse. In such cases, spikes in the small pelvis are diagnosed when conception and pregnancy do not occur for a long time, i.e. when examining a woman on the cause of infertility.

How is the treatment of adhesions in a small pelvis performed?

The choice of the algorithm for carrying out therapeutic measures for such a violation directly depends on the severity of the disorder and the form of the pathological process itself. So acute, and with it, intermittent forms are treated only surgically (laparoscopy).

In chronic form, all treatment is aimed at reducing the manifestations of impairment, as well as alleviating the state of health of a woman. So doctors recommend to follow a diet that involves limiting food that enhances the processes of gassing in the intestines (legumes, sour-milk products, cabbage, etc.). In this case, portions should be small, and meals - five times.

In order to rule out the possibility of developing complications, doctors are strongly recommended to reduce physical activity.

Important role in the treatment of adhesive process is physiotherapy. Among these, electrophoresis is most often prescribed, in which solutions with enzymes (trypsin, lidase) are used.

At the expressed painful syndrome, doctors prescribe antispasmodic and analgesic drugs (No-Shpa, Spazmaton, Papaverin, Analgin, etc.).

Thus, as can be seen from the article, the therapeutic process of adhesions in the small pelvis is symptomatic, and how to treat the disease in a specific case, the doctor decides depending on the manifestations and severity of the disorder.
