What are the symptoms of fallopian tube inflammation?

Salpingitis may present with symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, menstrual irregularities, frequent urination, and pain during sexual intercourse. Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Lower abdominal pain: Inflammation irritates the fallopian tubes and surrounding tissues, causing local congestion, edema, and even abscess formation, resulting in pain—especially dull or aching pain on both sides of the lower abdomen. Symptoms may worsen after physical exertion.

2. Abnormal vaginal discharge: Inflammation alters the characteristics of cervical and vaginal secretions and may also be accompanied by cervicitis. Patients may experience increased vaginal discharge that is discolored or abnormal in consistency, such as yellow-green, thick, or foul-smelling discharge.

3. Menstrual irregularities: Salpingitis may affect the normal function of the ovaries and uterus, leading to menstrual disorders such as frequent menstruation, heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged menstrual periods, or abnormal bleeding between periods.

4. Frequent urination: Salpingitis may trigger inflammatory responses in pelvic organs, leading to urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination.

5. Pain during sexual intercourse: Due to inflammation, the tissues in the fallopian tube area become sensitive and swollen, potentially causing pain during sexual activity and even postcoital bleeding.

If discomfort or symptoms arise, it is recommended to seek medical attention at a hospital promptly and follow the prescribed treatment plan as directed by a healthcare professional.
