Patient's question:
Changsha Sunshine HospitalDoctor's answer:
Adhesions in the fallopian tubes can range from mild to severe, and are classified into three degrees. Fallopian tube interstitial adhesion is classified as degree one; adhesion between the fallopian tube and the uterine angle is degree two; and adhesion between the fallopian tube ampulla and the fimbria is degree three. Whether it is bilateral or unilateral adhesion, in most cases, it is caused by excessive post-abortion inflammation with continuous discharge for several days, or by chronic pelvic inflammation such as endometritis or adnexitis that was not treated promptly. Over time, the inflammation infects the inner wall of the fallopian tube, causing erosion. After treatment, the inflammation subsides, and the fallopian tubes fuse together. Many women experience breast tenderness and pain a few days before their period, and those with elevated prolactin levels may have symptoms described in traditional Chinese medicine as "imbalance of qi and blood," leading to lactation. These symptoms disappear after the menstrual period. Long-term fallopian tube adhesion is similar to tubal ligation, with no noticeable symptoms. After treatment, the focus is on cooling the blood and regulating the liver qi, while before the period, the focus is on promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis, with the use of external application No. 1 hot compress medicine.
