Can salpingitis be cured?

Salpingitis is a relatively common gynecological disease. Patients will experience lower abdominal pain, abnormal leucorrhea, etc., and severe cases may even cause infertility. The most common cause of salpingitis is inflammatory infection. From the perspective of clinical treatment results, it can be cured if the right medicine is used. During this period, patients should pay attention to their diet, rest more, and exercise appropriately.

1. Causes of salpingitis

The most vulnerable time to infection is after childbirth, miscarriage or menstruation. Damage to the birth canal and placental detachment surface caused during delivery or abortion, or wounds caused by endometrial exfoliation during menstruation, are all pathways for pathogens to infect the internal reproductive organs. Sometimes infection is related to lax aseptic surgical procedures, such as placement of an intrauterine device, curettage, tubal insufflation, and iodized oil angiography. Frequent sexual intercourse and sexual intercourse during menstruation can also cause infection and lead to salpingitis. In a small number of patients, the infection is directly spread from inflammation of adjacent organs, such as appendicitis or infection foci in other parts of the body that spread through the bloodstream to the fallopian tubes and cause infection.

The first site of salpingitis is often the fallopian tube endometrium, causing endometrial swelling, interstitial edema, congestion and exudation, and shedding of the fallopian tube mucosal epithelium, causing the mucosa to adhere to each other or to the ends of the fallopian tube fimbria, leading to lumen occlusion and infertility. This leads to fallopian tube inflammation.

2. Harm of salpingitis

1) Causes infertility: Fallopian tube inflammation is the most common factor of infertility. The fallopian tubes have the function of transporting sperm, picking up eggs and transporting fertilized eggs to the uterine cavity. Any factors that affect the function of the fallopian tube, such as incomplete fallopian tube development, fallopian tube inflammation can cause fimbria atresia or fallopian tube occlusion when the fallopian tube mucosa is damaged, leading to infertility.

2) Pain: This type of pain is different from dysmenorrhea. Patients will also feel lower abdominal distension and pain and back pain during non-menstrual periods. Whether it is acute salpingitis or chronic salpingitis, patients will suffer from pain. The physical pain will inevitably affect the patient's mood and is detrimental to their physical and mental health.

3) Ectopic pregnancy: Severe cases of fallopian tube inflammation can cause complete blockage of the tube lumen and lead to infertility. In mild cases, although the tube lumen is not completely blocked, it can cause the tube lumen to narrow or the cilia to be damaged, affecting the normal movement of the fertilized egg in the fallopian tube, causing it to be blocked and implanted there, resulting in ectopic pregnancy. In severe cases, it can endanger the woman's life.

4) Impact on sexual life: Fallopian tube inflammation is the most common symptom, and it often worsens during menstruation or after fatigue. At the same time, there is an increase in leucorrhea, an increase in menstrual volume, and lumbar and sacral pain. Some patients experience pain during sexual intercourse, affecting the quality of their sexual life.

3. Can salpingitis be cured?

Salpingitis can be cured. The treatment of salpingitis usually includes the following four aspects: 1. General support and symptomatic treatment, that is, absolute bed rest and semi-recumbent position to facilitate drainage and discharge, and help to limit inflammation. Drink more water. Those with high fever should be replenished with fluid to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Chinese medicine and physical therapy have good effects; 2. Control infection. Since this type of inflammation is mostly mixed infection, drugs are needed to control the source of infection. Most of the pathogens are Escherichia coli and Bacteroides; 3. Local puncture of abscess, posterior fornix puncture should be performed. After confirming that it is pus, the pus can be drained through the posterior fornix incision and a rubber tube can be placed for drainage; or the contents can be sucked out first. 4. If the pelvic abscess perforates and breaks into the abdominal cavity, there are often changes in the systemic condition at the same time. Immediate infusion and blood transfusion should be given to correct electrolyte imbalance and shock. While correcting the general situation, laparotomy should be performed as soon as possible to remove the pus and remove the abscess as much as possible.
