Salpingitis

What is Salpingitis?

Salpingitis is a type of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, in which one or both Fallopian Tubes are affected by bacterial infection. Salpingitis almost always is caused by infection spread through vagina. These infections are primarily spread through the vagina and cervix and move upwards into fallopian tubes.

Salpingitis can be both acute and chronic. In acute salpingitis cases, the symptoms set in quickly displaying excruciating pain and heavy spotting with discharge. Whereas if the patient has a chronic form of salpingitis, her symptoms will be less severe, but more persistent and intermittent.

Symptoms of Acute Salpingitis

Pelvic pain: Pelvic pain is the most common symptom of Salpingitis. Generally, some amount of cramping pain is present all the time surrounding the lower abdomen, only getting worse during periods. The intensity of the pain may vary patient to patient. Generally the pain is more severe on one side of the abdomen, which indicates which tube is more affected.
Abnormal vaginal discharge: Patients suffering from Salpingitis are likely to have noticed abnormal discharge from their vaginas. This discharge usually has a thick texture and foul smell with mild yellowish, greenish or brownish color. Such discharges can occur irrespective of period days. Abnormal discharge indicates infections in the reproductive system.
Abnormal bleeding: Salpingitis can lead to abnormal vaginal bleeding. The bleeding during periods can be thicker or heavier with abdominal cramping. In many cases, patients report to have experienced untimely bleeding between periods, which can be light to moderate in nature. In some uncommon cases, bleeding after intercourse may occur also.

Causes of Salpingitis

STIs

Salpingitis is majorly caused by infections in the fallopian tubes. These infectious bacterias often enter the body through vagina, especially during unprotected intercourse. In a vast majority of patients, Salpingitis is caused by bacterias like chlamydia trachomatis, gonococci or mycoplasma hominis spread during intercourse.

Surgery

Surgery is one of the most suggested treatment options for various diseases with organs in the pelvic region, including infertility. Surgeries are generally safe and do not cause complications, if proper safety and sterilisation guidelines are maintained. However, undesired infections like staphylococcus may still creep in inadvertently.
