Inflammation of the Fallopian Tube (Salpingitis)

Introduction

Salpingitis and Infertility

If you and your partner are not having any success in trying to have a baby, you are among the 10-15% of couples who face the same thing. There are many reasons why a couple may be infertile. Inflammation of the fallopian tube, also known as salpingitis, is one of them.

 

Salpingitis is a type of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). This condition is one of a variety of infections that affect the reproductive organs. Such infections are often the result of sexually transmitted diseases. Chlamydia and gonorrhea are among the most common causes.

 

The infection may begin in one fallopian tube and transmit to another. If the condition is not treated, serious and long-term complications can develop.

Symptoms of Salpingitis

There are a variety of symptoms associated with salpingitis; however, not every woman who has the condition will experience them. Common symptoms associated with salpingitis include:

  • Abdominal pain
  • Dull lower back pain
  • Fever
  • Foul-smelling vaginal discharge
  • Nausea
  • Painful ovulation or menstruation
  • Painful sex
  • Spotting between periods
  • Yellow vaginal discharge
  • Vomiting

Some women experience chronic salpingitis and have mild or no symptoms. When the condition is acute, it can come on suddenly with severe symptoms. It is essential to consult a doctor about any symptoms you may be experiencing. Symptoms can disappear without treatment, giving you a false impression that the infection is no longer active. Long-term complications often develop when salpingitis is left untreated.

Impact On Fertility

Early diagnosis and treatment of salpingitis will most likely not affect your ability to conceive and have a normal pregnancy. Delaying treatment or neglecting to have the infection treated can lead to infertility. Blockages, adhesions, and scarring in the fallopian tubes can prevent a healthy pregnancy.

If the obstructions created by the condition cannot be removed surgically, conception may need to be assisted with in vitro fertilization (IVF). Neway Fertility offers a variety of IVF options for women who want a baby but have problems with conception. You can contact our office to schedule a consultation appointment with one of our doctors. Make the call today to find out how Neway Fertility can help you.

Patient Reviews

  • Dr. Wang is truly amazing

    Dr. Wang is truly amazing. He is the most compassionate, patient, and understanding doctor I have ever encountered. He takes the time to explain everything, making sure you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. Compared to my consult at NYU, the experience at Neway was completely different. I felt at ease, never rushed, and always cared for. One of the best things about this clinic is how efficient they are, there is no waiting during appointments, and you get seen very quickly, which makes the whole process even smoother. If you are looking for a fertility clinic where you will feel supported and genuinely cared for, I highly recommend Dr. Wang, Dr. Lee, and the entire team at Neway.

  • Dr. Wang is the best IVF doctor in the country

    Dr. Wang’s care is unmatched. He personally performs every scan, retrieval, and transfer, and his gentle touch made my recovery seamless compared to past experiences. His nurse, Cecilia, and the rest of the team are equally incredible—organized, supportive, and attentive to every detail. If you’re searching for a doctor who truly cares, offers personalized protocols, and provides VIP care—especially if you’re older or have endometriosis—Dr. Wang is the best IVF doctor in the country. He made my dream of becoming a mom a reality, and I will forever be grateful for him!

  • He is an incredible doctor!

    I had tried 3 other clinics before finding Neway through a recommendation in a Facebook group. As soon as I met Dr. Wang my whole experience with infertility changed. I felt respected and taken care of which was far from my experience at other clinics. Dr. Wang is so friendly and compassionate, answers every email within depth explanations and personally sees you at every appointment. He is open to your input at every step of the way. He is an incredible doctor! I am so happy I found him. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

  • I was incredibly grateful for the experience, thoughtfulness, and care provided by the team at Neway

    IVF is not a journey anyone wants to take. It is a roller coaster of emotions that is only made easier with a wonderful support system. We found that at Neway – with Dr. Zimmerman and the entire nursing team. Ours wasn’t an immediate success story – it took multiple cycles to become pregnant. But I was incredibly grateful for the experience, thoughtfulness, and care provided by the team at Neway. I cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone on this journey.
