Patient's question:
I have had the problem of vaginitis for a long time, it keeps recurring. I am 28 years old and have been trying to conceive for a year. After visiting the hospital, I found out that I have tubal inflammation. I saw online that tubal inflammation can be treated with cold compresses, but I don't know how to do it. Is it effective for tubal inflammation to use cold compresses?Doctor's answer:
Salpingitis is a type of chronic inflammation of the adnexa. It can manifest as lower abdominal pain, occasionally accompanied by pelvic effusion, which may lead to poor sperm passage and difficulty in implanting the fertilized egg into the uterine cavity, resulting in infertility and ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended to first rigorously treat the salpingitis, including oral medication, local medication, and prescribed physiotherapy. Cold compresses can be used for a few times. After 1-3 treatment cycles, an HSG (hysterosalpingogram) or tubal patency test should be conducted. Wish you early pregnancy.
