Clinical manifestations of pubic inflammation

Pain in the pubic symphysis has varying degrees of pain and radiates outward along the rectus abdominis on both sides. Pain inside the thigh affects walking, resulting in slow walking and even lameness. The adductors of the femoral muscle are mostly in the state of spasm and tension, and there may be tenderness at the starting point of the muscle. Pelvic separation tests were all positive.

Pubic inflammation examination

X-ray examination is mostly unchanged in the early stage, osteoporosis or absorption signs may appear in the later stage, the pubic symphysis narrows, and the fusion in the later stage.

Diagnosis of pubicitis

Diagnosis can be based on medical history and clinical manifestations.

Pubicitis Treatment

Patients with severe symptoms should rest in bed, use knee flexion, hip flexion, orally invigorate blood circulation and remove stasis drugs and analgesics. They can be cold applied locally and closed locally if necessary. For individual patients with more severe conditions, pubic symphysis fusion surgery may be performed as appropriate. During the operation, care should be taken to preserve the cortical bone and ligaments on the anterior side of the pubic bone and implant the cancellous bone.
