This happens because in the small pelvis the sexual organs are interconnected rather closely and the inflammatory process in one of them entails the defeat of other organs.

With exacerbation of existing chronic inflammationor with the development of an acute form with severe symptoms, the inflammation of the appendages is treated in a hospital. At easy enough forms treatment is spent at home.
