Salpingitis, also known as tubal inflammation, is a type of pelvic inflammatory disease in women usually caused by bacterial infection. Its main symptoms may include:
1. Lower abdominal pain: persistent or cyclical pain in the lower abdomen, which may be accompanied by pain during sexual intercourse.
2. Irregular menstruation: changes in the menstrual cycle, such as prolonged periods or increased bleeding.
3. Pain during sexual activity: discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse.
4. Painful urination: frequent urination, urgency, or pain during urination.
5. Dysmenorrhea: menstrual pain that is more severe than usual.
6. Fever: low-grade or high fever accompanying the inflammatory response.
7. Abnormal discharge: increased vaginal discharge, sometimes yellow or green in color with an unpleasant odor.
8. Infertility: failure to conceive despite having regular unprotected sex, which may be a symptom of infertility caused by tubal inflammation.
If you suspect you have salpingitis, seek medical attention promptly.
