Tubal infertility is a very common diagnosis. It is diagnosed in women who have a violation of the patency of the fallopian tubes. For a long period, female infertility of tubal origin can proceed without any symptoms, so a woman may not even be aware of anything. With this pathology, pain and discharge are often absent, so a woman may not know about the problem for a long time. However, in some cases, patients complain of periodic pulling pains in the lower abdomen. Typically, this is due to the accumulation of fluid in the tubes (hydrosalpinx). In addition, menstruation becomes very painful. All these symptoms indicate a problem in the woman’s reproductive system, so you need to immediately consult a gynecologist.
Factors for tubal infertility development
Various factors contribute to the development of tubal infertility, including:
- infections and inflammation in the pelvic organs;
- surgical interventions on the pelvic organs;
- endometriosis;
- ectopic pregnancy.
Pathologies of the fallopian tubes are congenital or acquired. In any case, they prevent a woman from getting pregnant and often cause an ectopic (outside the main cavity of the uterus) pregnancy.
