Tubo-Ovarian Abscess
Dear Doctor Bibbi,
I
want to commend you for the way you solve peoples problem. I saw your
column in the Daily Sun newspaper and I really praise God for giving you
such wisdom. Firstly, my question is this -- what is Tubo-Ovarian
Abscess? What are the symptoms, causes and dangers? My friend asked me
to help her to ask and if there is any drug you can prescribe for
pityriasis versicolor. I am looking forward to your reply.
Thanks.

Dear Modinat,
Tubo-Ovarian
Abscess (TOA) is a bag of pus—like a very big boil-- involving the
tubes and ovaries of a woman and causing, majorly, infertility. Pains in
the pelvis or lower abdomen, fever, a swelling in the lower abdomen,
sweating and irregular menses are some of the symptoms and signs to look
for. Also a Pelvic Ultrasound Scan will reveal details of the
condition. Any TOA is a matter for surgery by a competent
Obsterician-Gynaecologist. Infection of the tubes and ovaries by
bacteria are the culprits—germs like Staphylococcus,
Streptococci,Diplococcus, Neisseria etc cause it. Pityriasis Versicolor
is easily treated with antifungal creams; it is a fungal infection of
the skin. Call me and we’ll sort you out.
Cheers
