What diseases can cause pain in the fallopian tubes?

• Endosalpingitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the fallopian tubes. Associated symptoms: hyperemia, swelling, deterioration of microcirculation with subsequent deformation of cells. The process most often develops on both sides, although unilateral damage is also possible, in particular when using an intrauterine device. The inflammatory process affects the muscular and serous membrane of the tubes, and the infection then spreads to the abdominal cavity and causes damage to the epithelium of the ovary and the adjacent peritoneum.
• Salpingo-oophoritis is an inflammatory process that occurs in the uterine appendages, fallopian tubes and ovaries. The consequence of such a disease may be the inability to fertilize. Such a disease may be a consequence of pathologies of the pelvic organs, in particular, if the disease has not been completely cured. This pathology is characterized by the formation of infiltrates, dysfunction of the mucous and muscular membranes of the fallopian tubes, narrowing of the lumen of the vessels. Symptoms: dull or aching pain in the fallopian tubes and in the lower abdomen, groin and vagina.

• Oophoritis is an inflammation of the ovaries. Often occurs along with inflammation of the fallopian tubes. Causes: abortion, menstruation, childbirth in combination with infections of various origins. The main signs of the disease are urination disorders, pain in the fallopian tubes, lower abdomen, purulent discharge, discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse. Treatment is prescribed depending on the nature and course of the disease. The patient is prescribed rest, in the first days you can apply ice to the lower abdomen, the use of painkillers and antibacterial drugs, sulfonamides, calcium chloride is indicated, physiotherapy is prescribed (for example, local use of quartz).
• Fluid in the fallopian tubes (simple or follicular). One to several closed cavities are formed in the tubes, in which the secretion of the fallopian tubes accumulates, as a result of which the walls of the tubes stretch and become thinner. In the presence of adhesions, the fluid accumulates again, causing inflammation in all genitals. The fluid that appears in the tubes causes the proliferation of bacteria and is a constant causative agent of infection. With prolonged hydrosalpinx, connective tissue strands are formed, provoking chronic pain.

How to recognize pain in the fallopian tubes?

The diagnosis is based on the results of an ultrasound examination. Laserphoresis, electromagnetic phoresis, vitamin-mineral complexes and homeopathic preparations are prescribed as treatment.

Pain in the fallopian tubes can be caused by an intestinal infection brought in from the rectum, as well as sexually transmitted diseases. When bacteria penetrate the fallopian tube, they cause adhesions, as a result of which the egg is unable to move freely through the fallopian tube. In order to prevent the disease, it is necessary to follow contraceptive methods and wear comfortable underwear made of natural fabrics.
