Patient's question:
Hello, could you please tell me what are the symptoms of fallopian tube adhesion? I have been trying to conceive for a long time but haven't been able to get pregnant with a second child. What could be the reason for this? After checking at the hospital, they said it was fallopian tube adhesion. So, what are the symptoms of fallopian tube adhesion? I hope the doctor can give a detailed answer.Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of fallopian tube adhesion include:1. Irregular menstruation, with some women experiencing abnormal menstrual cycles. Severe cases may involve menstruation occurring twice a month, dark menstrual blood with clots indicating blood heat, yellow menstrual blood indicating damp-heat, and pale, watery menstrual blood indicating deficiency heat. If the inflammation persists for a long time without resolution.
2. Occasional low-grade fever. In severe cases, ascites may be present. Additionally, there are some constitutional characteristics, though systemic symptoms are not prominent. Occasional low-grade fever may occur, especially in cases that do not respond to treatment, severely impacting the patient's quality of life. Severe cases often feature weight loss and a tender, resilient abdomen, with ascites sometimes present. When encapsulated effusion forms, an inactive, ill-defined cystic mass may be palpable in the pelvic cavity.
3. Infertility. The primary manifestation is infertility. In women with infertility, about one-third of the cases are caused by fallopian tube issues. Among these, various infections are a concern, with tuberculosis being particularly significant, as it often easily causes severe, irreversible damage to the fallopian tube lining and walls.
4. Pain. The pain is typically dull lower abdominal pain and back pain. It often worsens during menstruation, after sexual activity, or after exertion. Additionally, menstrual changes such as increased menstrual volume and prolonged periods may occur.
