Patient's question:
I have previously undergone surgery for an ovarian cyst. My period hasn't arrived this month, and I've been experiencing a small amount of spotting every day. I read online that it could be due to inflammation of the fallopian tubes. What are the symptoms of fallopian tube inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Generally, tubal inflammation will not reappear with any symptoms in most cases. A small number of people may experience lower abdominal discomfort and a sense of heaviness after the menstrual period due to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Spotting before the menstrual period is not related to tubal inflammation; it may be more associated with luteal function insufficiency or luteal expansion insufficiency, leading to incomplete endometrial shedding and thus resulting in prolonged menstruation. Patients should avoid consuming excessive greasy foods in their daily diet.
