Symptoms of Fallopian Tube Problems

Many women have not been pregnant after marriage. After examination, it was found that there was a problem with the fallopian tube. Therefore, infertility is one of the symptoms of fallopian tube problems and it is also the most serious aspect. When there is a problem with the fallopian tube, there will usually be dysmenorrhea, which means that the abdominal pain is very strong. In addition, when the fallopian tube is blocked, women often do not feel it, which ultimately leads to infertility. Most of the problems will improve after treatment.

1. What symptoms indicate a problem with the fallopian tubes?

Symptom 1: Abdominal pain

When a woman has fallopian tube disease, she will experience pain in the lower abdomen. The pain may be severe or mild, but most of the time it is a hidden discomfort.

If it is an acute fallopian tube disease, in addition to abdominal pain, there will also be symptoms such as abdominal distension, chills and fever, constipation and diarrhea, frequent and painful urination, and pus and blood in the vagina.

Symptom 2: Dysmenorrhea

Normal dysmenorrhea is generally not too severe, but if it is caused by fallopian tube disease, the pain will generally start before menstruation, and the closer to the menstrual period, the more obvious the pain.

Symptom 3: Irregular menstruation

The most common manifestation is excessive menstrual flow or a significant increase in the frequency of menstruation.

Symptom 4: Other

Such as pain during sexual intercourse, gastrointestinal disorders and increased leucorrhea.

2. Check-up items to be done if there is a problem with the fallopian tube

1. Fallopian tube insufflation

Inject drugs or saline into the uterine cavity, and judge whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed based on the reflux of the injected liquid, the size of the resistance, and the feeling of the patient and the operator. However, this type of examination has a large proportion of subjective factors and is not very accurate. Furthermore, it is impossible to determine the specific location of the blockage or adhesion.

2. Hysterosalpingography

This is the most commonly used method for examining fallopian tubes in clinical practice. Through hysterosalpingography, not only can we determine whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed and find out the areas of blockage or adhesion, but we can also observe the overall situation in the uterine cavity with a high accuracy rate.

3. Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy can not only directly observe the morphology, obstruction site and patency of the fallopian tubes, but also examine the conditions of the pelvis, ovaries and uterus. Once abnormalities are found, the lesions can be treated in a timely manner.

4. Hysteroscopy

By observing the uterine cavity, it can be seen whether there is adhesion of the endometrium, the opening of the fallopian tube, and the patency of the fallopian tube. If lesions are found in both the pelvic cavity and the uterine cavity during the examination, it can also be used in conjunction with hysteroscopy and laparoscopy.
