Where is the fallopian tube pain located?

The fallopian tube is of vital importance to women. It is an important channel for women to successfully conceive. Many women experience pain in the fallopian tubes. This is mainly caused by inflammation of the fallopian tubes. There are many reasons for inflammation. Unclean sex, especially sex during menstruation, can easily cause bacterial infection. Miscarriage, postpartum period, disease, etc. can also cause pain in the fallopian tubes. So what should we do?

reason

Conception is a very complex physiological process. In addition to having normal sperm, eggs and an appropriate intrauterine environment, allowing sperm and eggs to meet and be smoothly transported to the uterine cavity is also an important part of the conception process. This task is accomplished by the fallopian tubes. If the fallopian tube is blocked due to inflammation, the sperm cannot meet the egg and cause infertility, which is called fallopian tube obstruction infertility. Clinically, 80% of infertility patients are caused by fallopian tube factors. Fallopian tube obstruction is often caused by adhesion, congestion, edema of the fallopian tube wall due to miscarriage, unclean sexual intercourse, pelvic infection, etc., which leads to blockage, resulting in the inability of sperm and egg to combine, and ultimately causes infertility.

1. The physiological defense function of the female reproductive tract against infection is weakened during menstruation, after miscarriage or in the postpartum period: If female friends do not pay attention to hygiene during the menstrual cycle or have sexual intercourse, bacteria can easily ascend through the mucous membrane and cause infection of the fallopian tube lining.

2. Disseminated infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Mycobacterium tuberculosis spreads to the fallopian tubes through the blood circulation, thereby causing the occurrence of salpingitis.

3. Gonorrheal infection: This condition is also the main cause of acute salpingo-oophoritis.

4. Lesions in organs adjacent to the fallopian tube: This is also one of the causes of salpingitis. Diseases such as appendicitis and colon diverticulitis can spread to the fallopian tube through direct contact and cause inflammation.

symptom

1. Lower abdominal pain of varying degrees, mostly dull pain, lumbar pain, and a feeling of falling;

2. Abnormal menstruation, manifested by increased menstrual flow and irregular cycles.

3. Dysmenorrhea: Due to pelvic congestion, abdominal pain usually begins a week before menstruation and becomes more severe as the menstrual period approaches until the onset of menstruation.

4. Increased leucorrhea. Some patients may not have any conscious symptoms except infertility.

harm

1. Cause pain:

Unlike dysmenorrhea, patients will also feel bloating and pain in the lower abdomen and unbearable back pain during non-menstrual periods.

2. Affecting sexual life:

This is also the most common symptom of salpingitis. Patients often experience worsening symptoms during menstruation or after fatigue. At the same time, there is an abnormal increase in vaginal discharge, abnormal increase in menstrual volume, lumbar pain, and some patients experience pain during intercourse, which seriously affects women's sexual life.

3. Ectopic pregnancy:

If fallopian tube inflammation is too severe, it will cause complete blockage of the lumen and lead to infertility. In mild cases, pregnancy will be affected. In severe cases, ectopic pregnancy will occur because the fertilized egg cannot reach the uterine cavity, endangering the life and health of women.

4. Leading to female infertility:

Inflammation of the fallopian tubes is the most common cause of female infertility. Once the fallopian tube becomes inflamed, it will cause atresia of the fimbria or damage to the fallopian tube mucosa, which will eventually lead to fallopian tube occlusion and female infertility.

treat

General treatment

Rest in bed in a semi-recumbent position to help localize the inflammation and prevent it from spreading upward. Pay attention to nutritional supplementation and maintaining water and electrolyte balance. After the diagnosis is clear, antipyretic and analgesic drugs can be used appropriately.

Infection Control

Based on pathogenic microorganisms and drug sensitivity tests, try to choose effective antibiotics appropriately, with sufficient dosage and thorough and effective anti-inflammatory effect.

Surgery

For patients with salpingitis, immediate surgery should be performed to remove the lesions to prevent the inflammation from spreading rapidly into sepsis and endangering life. For localized pelvic abscesses, if fullness and fluctuation can be felt in the posterior fornix, incision and drainage can be performed.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that fallopian tube obstruction is mainly caused by factors such as phlegm and dampness stagnation, qi deficiency and blood stasis, kidney deficiency and blood stasis, damp-heat stasis, qi stagnation and blood stasis, cold and dampness stagnation, etc. Therefore, the treatment should be based on the basic principles of anti-inflammatory and analgesic, blood circulation and blood stasis, and qi and blood tonification, so as to comprehensively regulate the body's circulation and effectively improve the symptoms of fallopian tube obstruction in women.
