What causes pain in the middle thigh

Nowadays, many people often experience pain in the middle of their thighs. This is a relatively common symptom. There are many reasons for pain in the middle of the thigh. For example, people now have pelvic inflammatory disease. Because pelvic inflammatory disease can penetrate into the thigh tendons, thigh pain will occur. This situation is not uncommon, and it also includes loneliness, fatigue or ligament damage.

Pelvic inflammatory disease can be acute or chronic.

Acute pelvic inflammatory disease has an acute onset and is a serious condition. Patients all have chills, fever, and lower abdominal pain to varying degrees. Sometimes the urinary tract may also experience symptoms of irritation or compression, such as dysuria, frequent urination, and difficulty urinating. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is often caused by acute pelvic inflammatory disease that has not been completely treated. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is often stubborn and often forms adhesion masses in the fallopian tubes and ovaries, which are adhered to the surrounding areas. Anti-inflammatory drugs are not easy to enter, so it is not easy to cure completely.

Case: A woman was recently diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease, but for unknown reasons her thighs also began to ache. She was very distressed, not knowing whether the leg pain was caused by pelvic inflammatory disease or some other reason.

Analysis: The statement that "pelvic inflammatory disease infiltrates into the thigh tendons" is not scientific.

Why do thighs hurt after pelvic inflammatory disease?

Because the nerves of the uterus and its appendages come from the ovarian sympathetic plexus and the parasympathetic pelvic visceral nerves in the abdomen, they originate from the sacral 2 and 4 nerves. Therefore, when diseases occur in these organs (such as pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, etc.) and affect these nerves, it can reflexively cause the so-called "low back and leg pain." However, the pain is mostly in the lumbar region, and there are generally no lower limb symptoms.

Mental stress, fatigue, and improper exercise can often cause "occasionally a few times of pain in the inner thigh, but it is very short-lived." If you are worried, it is recommended that you go to the orthopedics department of a regular hospital, conduct physical examinations, take X-rays and other tests to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment to avoid delays.

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can be cured as long as treatment is persisted. The first step in treating pelvic inflammatory disease is to choose appropriate antibiotics and treat the symptoms accordingly. In addition, physical therapy, such as shortwave, ultrashort wave, etc., can be added to promote the absorption and disappearance of inflammation. During treatment, patients should also pay attention to ensuring adequate nutrition, strengthening physical exercise, and combining work and rest to enhance the body's resistance and promote improvement of the condition.
