swollen fallopian tubes

Introduction

Introduction Tubal enlargement is generally caused by inflammation of the fallopian tube, which is an important factor in female infertility. Salpingitis is more common in infertile women. The cause is caused by pathogen infection. The pathogens mainly include staphylococcus, streptococcus, and large intestine. Caused by Bacillus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Proteus, Pneumococcal, Chlamydia, etc. The most common time for infection is postpartum, post-abortion or post-menstrual. Injury of the birth canal and placental stripping surface during labor or abortion or wounds of the endometrial exfoliation during menstruation are all ways in which the pathogen infects the internal genitalia. Sometimes infections are associated with less stringent aseptic surgical procedures, such as the placement of intrauterine devices, curettage, tubal fluid, and lipiodol. Sexual life is too frequent, sexual intercourse during menstruation, can also cause infection and fallopian tube inflammation. A small number of patients are caused by the direct spread of inflammation of adjacent organs. For example, appendicitis or other parts of the body are transmitted through the bloodstream to the fallopian tubes to cause infection.
