Inflammation or infection of a Fallopian tube, usually the result of infection spreading from the vagina or uterus; if scar tissue forms, the tube may become blocked and disable fertilization in that tube. Treatment is by antibiotics or surgical removal of the tube.
Inflammation of a fallopian tube, which carries eggs from the ovary to the uterus.
A condition occurring when infectious agents invade the uterus and spread to the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and surrounding tissues. Acute salpingitis, a type of pelvic inflammatory disease, causes lower abdominal pain and tenderness and often a high fever. Chronic salpingitis causes recurring discomfort in the lower abdomen, sometimes with a low-grade fever and a backache. Menstrual periods may be heavy in both acute and chronic infections.
Inflammation of a tube, most commonly applied to inflammation of one or both of the fallopian tubes caused by bacterial infection spreading from the vagina or womb or carried in the blood. In acute salpingitis there is a sharp pain in the lower abdomen, which may be mistaken for that of appendicitis, and the infection may spread to the membrane lining the abdominal cavity (see peritonitis). In severe cases the tubes may become blocked with scar tissue and the patient will be unable to conceive. The condition is treated with antibiotics or by surgical removal of the diseased tube(s).
Inflammation situated in the fallopian tubes; these run from the ovaries to the uterus and carry the ova or eggs. The disorder is commonly caused by infection spreading upwards from the vagina, cervix or uterus. It is one feature of pelvic inflammatory disease -(PID). It is potentially serious and requires treatment with antibiotics and sometimes surgery to drain any pus or, in persistent infections, to remove the Fallopian tubes.
Inflammation of a fallopian tube, usually as a result of a sexually transmitted infection. The prognosis is affected by the virulence of the organism, degree of inflammation, and promptness of treatment. The long-term consequences of the infection may include scarring of the fallopian tubes and infertility.
The condition marked by inflammation within a fallopian tube is referred to as salpingitis. Typically, this inflammation arises from infection, often of a sexually transmitted nature like gonorrhoea or chlamydial infection, which spreads upwards from the vagina, cervix, or uterus. Salpingitis is also associated with pelvic inflammatory disease.
Indications of this condition encompass intense abdominal pain and fever. There’s a potential for pus accumulation within the fallopian tube, potentially leading to the formation of a pelvic abscess.
The diagnosis is made through the examination of vaginal and cervical discharge to identify the infectious agent, or by employing laparoscopy to visualize the abdominal cavity. Blood tests might be conducted if there are suspicions of septicaemia and the woman’s health is notably compromised. Treating this condition involves the use of antibiotics. In cases where an abscess has developed, surgical intervention might be necessary.
Should the infection have caused harm to the inner lining of the fallopian tubes, it can potentially lead to infertility or a heightened risk of ectopic pregnancy. Surgical correction might be possible in certain instances where damage to a tube has occurred.
Inflammation of a Fallopian tube or an Eustachian tube.
