Salpingitis is a common gynecological disease, which not only seriously affects the normal life and work of patients, but also affects their health. Infertility is one of its hazards.
Can I still get pregnant if I get salpingitis?
Salpingitis is a type of inflammation of the fallopian tubes caused by bacterial infections, which often occurs in women of reproductive age. Chronic salpingitis is generally associated with ovarian inflammation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chronic salpingitis is closely related to dampness, heat, and toxicity. The main clinical manifestations include bilateral lower abdominal pain, purulent leukorrhea, lumbosacral descent, menstrual disorders, infertility, etc.
Salpingitis is often caused by incomplete or improper treatment of acute salpingitis. If left untreated for a long time, chronic salpingitis can cause mucosal adhesions, blockage of the fallopian tubes, secondary infertility, or blockage of the fallopian tubes, which may lead to pregnancy. However, the probability of ectopic pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy is high, leading to habitual miscarriage
Why can salpingitis cause infertility?
Sperm meets egg and combines to form a fertilized egg, which is transported to the uterine cavity through the fallopian tube. Therefore, the patency of the fallopian tube is one of the essential conditions for conception. The lumen of the fallopian tube is relatively narrow, with the narrowest part having a diameter of only 1-2 millimeters. When pelvic inflammatory disease or salpingitis occurs, the narrowest part and umbrella end of the fallopian tubes are prone to adhesions, resulting in narrowing or complete closure of the lumen. As a result, sperm and eggs cannot meet within the lumen, which can easily lead to female infertility
Treatment of salpingitis
1. Acute salpingitis infection control treatment: Based on pathogenic microorganisms and drug sensitivity experiments, choose effective antibiotics as appropriate as possible, in sufficient amounts, and thoroughly and effectively reduce inflammation.
2. Surgical treatment is the most common treatment method for salpingitis. For patients with fallopian tube ovarian abscess or pelvic abscess rupture, immediate surgical clearance of the lesion should be carried out to prevent the inflammation from rapidly spreading into sepsis and endangering life. In cases where pelvic abscess is limited, if the posterior dome is in contact with a feeling of fullness or shaking, the pus can be cut open for drainage.
3. The treatment methods for salpingitis include regular treatment, mainly bedridden or half bedridden, to avoid localized spread of inflammation. Pay attention to supplementing nutrition, maintain water and electrolyte balance, and after diagnosis and understanding, appropriate use of antipyretic and analgesic drugs. Warm reminder: Women with salpingitis must seek medical attention as soon as possible and do not regret tubal infertility. Many diseases in life can be avoided, mainly due to people's lucky mentality, so they choose to ignore the ultimate occurrence of infertility.
