8. Tubo-Ovarian Abscess
Abscesses are sacs of pus that are found in your body and the pus is made up largely of dead pathogens and expired white blood cells. They are often quite harmless and will disappear in time, but they can sometimes be a real threat to us. They can be found anywhere in the body, and this includes the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
Pelvic inflammatory disease can sometimes cause abscesses to form in the female sexual organs. These will often remain where they are without doing any harm but that is not always the case. Abscesses can sometimes lead to very dangerous infections, so they should be treated as soon as they are detected.
