Salpingitis, or inflammation of the fallopian tubes, is not a rare pathology in the practice of a gynecologist. Very often salpingitis is combined with adnexitis (inflammation of the ovaries) and is a consequence of an ascending infection (most often sexual infections) from the vagina and uterus.
If you do not treat acute salpingitis, then it will necessarily go into chronic salpingitis. In this case, a prolonged chronic sluggish inflammatory process will inevitably lead to the formation of adhesions with violation of patency of the fallopian tubes, which will cause infertility or ectopic pregnancy. In our article we will consider acute and chronic salpingitis and the peculiarities of their treatment.
How to treat acute and chronic salpingitis?
Adequate treatment of acute salpingitis can lead to complete recovery and will not leave any consequences. To treat salpingitis should be a specialist and in no case do self-medication. Before appointing treatment, the doctor will necessarily appoint a number of clinical examinations (blood and urine tests), ultrasound, and PCR-examination of blood or cervical canal content for a number of sexual infections. Clarifying the etiological factor of inflammation is the key to successful treatment. When salpingitis in treatment, antibiotics in tablets, anti-inflammatory suppositories, immunomodulating medications must be used. When the acute process subsides, physiotherapy and balneotherapy can be added to the treatment.
Salpingitis - treatment with folk remedies
In the treatment of salpingitis, folk remedies are used as a supplement to antibacterial and anti-inflammatory therapy. A good complement to the treatment are the collection of medicinal herbs (chamomile, marigold, flax seeds). The intake of tincture of echinacea purpurea will stimulate immunity and increase the defenses of the body.
