Israeli medicine combines global experience in treating inflammatory diseases with technologies that allow for precise and effective action. At Ichilov, protocols based on the latest scientific data are used, and each case is considered with individual characteristics in mind. Leading specialists at the clinic work as a team, ensuring a comprehensive approach and rapid achievement of stable results. The accommodation conditions are thought out to the smallest detail, and foreign patients can take advantage of personal assistance at all stages.
Modern diagnostic methods allow for the identification of the cause of adnexitis with high accuracy, which becomes the basis for appropriate treatment. Even in complex cases, when the process is advanced or complicated, Israeli protocols demonstrate high effectiveness.
About the Disease
Adnexitis is an inflammatory disease of the appendages of the uterus (ovaries and fallopian tubes), which can occur in acute or chronic forms. Acute adnexitis is characterized by pronounced symptoms and requires immediate treatment. Chronic adnexitis develops due to insufficient therapy of the acute form and proceeds with periods of exacerbation.
Causes
- Bacterial infections (chlamydia, gonococci, staphylococci)
- Complications after abortions or childbirth
- Neglect of hygiene
- Decreased immunity
- Hypothermia
Symptoms
- Lower abdominal pain
- Fever
- Menstrual cycle disturbances
- Purulent or mucous discharge
- Pain during intercourse
- General weakness

Treatment Methods for Adnexitis
At Ichilov, treatment methods for adnexitis are selected based on comprehensive diagnostics, which includes laboratory tests, pelvic ultrasound, and assessment of the patient's overall condition.
Antibacterial Therapy
When the inflammatory process is in the active phase and caused by a bacterial infection, the basis of treatment becomes the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. The choice of drugs depends on the results of the bacteriological culture, which allows for the precise identification of the pathogen and its sensitivity to various groups of antimicrobial agents. Therapy may include a combination of several drugs for maximum impact on the pathogenic flora. The treatment course is monitored by regular tests, allowing for timely adjustments to dosages and assessment of effectiveness.
Anti-inflammatory Therapy
Alongside the elimination of infection, it is necessary to reduce tissue inflammation, which causes pain and disrupts organ function. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed to relieve pain syndrome and reduce swelling of the appendages. In some cases, hormonal anti-inflammatory agents are used, especially when the inflammatory process becomes systemic. This approach helps not only alleviate the condition but also prevent the formation of adhesions that can disrupt the patency of the fallopian tubes and lead to infertility in the future.
Physiotherapy Procedures
After the acute phase subsides, physiotherapy becomes an important element of recovery. Ultrasound therapy improves blood circulation in the affected tissues and promotes the resorption of inflammatory infiltrates. Magnetotherapy has an anti-edema effect and stimulates regeneration. Electrophoresis with medications allows for the delivery of active substances directly to the area of inflammation, enhancing the therapeutic effect. Laser therapy activates local immunity and accelerates tissue healing, which is especially important in chronic disease progression.
Laparoscopic Sanitation
When conservative treatment does not yield results or purulent complications develop, minimally invasive surgical intervention is applied. Through small punctures in the abdominal wall, a laparoscope with a camera and surgical instruments are introduced. The surgeon gains the ability to visually assess the condition of the appendages, remove purulent contents, separate adhesions, and perform sanitation of the abdominal cavity with antiseptic solutions. Modern high-definition equipment allows for precise work while preserving healthy tissues. Recovery after such an operation takes minimal time compared to open access.
Immunomodulatory Therapy
Decreased immune defenses often become a background for the development of adnexitis, so immune correction is included in the treatment plan. Immunomodulators help restore the balance of the immune system and increase resistance to infections. Vitamin complexes focusing on B, C, and E vitamins support regeneration processes and improve overall well-being. Antioxidants protect cells from damage by free radicals, which is especially relevant in chronic inflammation. This approach reduces the risk of relapses and helps the body independently resist pathogens.
Hormonal Correction
In chronic adnexitis, menstrual cycle and hormonal balance disturbances often occur, requiring a specialized approach. Hormonal medications are prescribed to restore ovarian function and regulate the cycle. This is especially important for women planning pregnancy, as normalizing hormonal levels creates favorable conditions for conception. An endocrinologist, in collaboration with a gynecologist, selects the optimal scheme, considering age, reproductive plans, and concomitant diseases. Regular monitoring of hormonal status allows for timely adjustments to therapy and achieving stable results.
Diagnostic Methods for the Disease
Accurate diagnosis of adnexitis is extremely important, as this disease can lead to serious complications such as chronic pelvic pain, infertility, or ectopic pregnancy. Accurate and timely diagnosis allows for the identification of inflammation at an early stage, determining the pathogen, and selecting effective treatment. At Ichilov, all diagnostic procedures are performed on high-precision modern equipment, ensuring maximum accuracy of results. All stages of examination are planned in advance, and procedures are performed within a short timeframe so that the patient can quickly receive a complete picture of their health status and begin treatment.
First Day
Upon arrival at the clinic, the patient immediately consults with the attending gynecologist. The doctor thoroughly collects the medical history: clarifies complaints, disease history, past infections, surgeries, menstrual cycle features, and reproductive function. Then a thorough gynecological examination is conducted, including bimanual examination. Based on the obtained data, the doctor provides recommendations for necessary diagnostic studies that will help create a complete picture of the patient's condition and identify the causes of inflammation.
Second Day
This day includes a comprehensive diagnostic study to confirm the diagnosis and assess the degree of inflammation.
- Complete blood count
- Biochemical blood analysis
- Urinalysis
- Vaginal and cervical canal flora smear
- PCR diagnostics for sexually transmitted infections
- Bacteriological culture with sensitivity testing for antibiotics
- Pelvic ultrasound (transvaginal)
- Abdominal ultrasound
Third Day
On the third day, the attending physician analyzes all examination results and gathers a consultation with leading specialists at the clinic. Collegial discussion allows for consideration of all aspects of the patient's condition and the creation of the most relevant, individualized treatment plan, taking into account the form of the disease, the pathogen, and possible complications. This guarantees the best therapy outcome and minimizes risks.
- Ultrasound
- Blood biochemistry
