Patient's question:
My sister-in-law has been experiencing abdominal pain for nearly half a year. She went to the village hospital, got some medicine, and it went away. The day before yesterday, her lower right abdomen hurt for a whole day, and after a thorough examination at the hospital, they said it was a fallopian tube stone and needed to be crushed. From yesterday to today, her abdomen doesn't hurt, but she still feels uncomfortable. She has also had her period recently, for about two or three days.Hello, what are the symptoms of fallopian tube stones? How are fallopian tube stones treated?
Doctor's answer:
What you mentioned should be ureteral calculus, but it is also quite rare for women to have fallopian tube calculus. The clinical diagnosis of fallopian tube calculus mainly manifests as lower abdominal pain, generally affecting menstruation. In contrast, ureteral calculus is clinically characterized by abdominal pain, hematuria, and other symptoms. If it is a right ureteral calculus, it should be differentiated from acute appendicitis. After diagnosis, if drug treatment is ineffective, laser extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy should be promptly adopted, which is relatively effective. Fallopian tube calculus is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During medication, patients are advised to pay attention to avoiding sexual activity during treatment and maintaining good hygiene. Wishing female patients a speedy recovery!
