Ovarian wall rupture: The ovaries have no openings; at ovulation the egg breaks through the ovary's wall. This may make ovulation itself painful for some women. [6] [unreliable medical source?] Fallopian tube contraction: After ovulation, the fallopian tubes contract (similar to peristalsis of the esophagus), which may cause pain in some women.
In 2015 a research was done on the role of autoimmunity in premature ovarian failure. [11] In 2014 there was an ovarian autoimmune disease research that revealed at least two mechanisms that protect the ovary from an autoimmune attack. [12] Research showed that Theca cells were targeting the autoimmune deficiency within the ovary.
Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes O00-O99 within Chapter XV: Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium should be included in this category. v t
Damaged oviducts from salpingitis increase the risk of an ectopic pregnancy by 7-10 fold. Half of ectopic pregnancies are due to a salpingitis infection. [2] Other complications are: [3] Infection of ovaries and uterus; Infection of sex partners; An abscess on the ovary; Internal scars resulting in Fitz-Hugh–Curtis syndrome of the liver [6]
Frozen pelvis can cause chronic pelvic pain. Because these internal organs are attached to each other, they cannot move normally. This results in pain whenever an improperly attached organ moves, including during bowel movements, urination, menstruation, and sexual intercourse. [1] Involvement of any pelvic nerves can cause neuropathic pain. [1]
This can be caused by the formation of scar tissue due to one or more episodes of PID, and can lead to tubal blockage. Both of these increase the risk of the inability to get pregnant, [27] and 1% results in an ectopic pregnancy. [40] Chronic pelvic/abdominal pain develops post PID 40% of the time. [40]
Oophoritis is an inflammation of the ovaries. It is often seen in combination with salpingitis (inflammation of the fallopian tubes). [citation needed] It may develop in response to infection. [1] Oophoritis is typically caused by a bacterial infection, and may result from chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
Chronic pelvic pain is a common condition with rate of dysmenorrhoea between 16.8 and 81%, dyspareunia between 8-21.8%, and noncyclical pain between 2.1 and 24%. [ 30 ] According to the CDC , Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) accounted for approximately 9% of all visits to gynecologists in 2007. [ 31 ]
