WHAT IS FALLOPIAN TUBE?

The Fallopian tubes, also known as uterine tubes or salpinges (singular salpinx), are two very fine tubes lined with ciliated epithelia, leading from the ovaries of female mammals into the uterus, via the uterotubal junction. They enable the passage of egg cells from the ovaries to the uterus. In non-mammalian vertebrates, the equivalent structures are called oviducts.

PAIN DUE TO FALLOPIAN TUBE PROBLEMS

If you experience pain in your lower abdomen or pelvis, it may be due to fallopian tube problems. This may be triggered by

Ovulation

Pelvic inflammatory diseases

Tubal blockage

Ectopic pregnancy,

Cancer.

The fallopian tubes, also known as oviducts, are an important part of the female reproductive system, as they connect the ovaries to the uterus. When the egg is released by the ovary, it travels through the oviducts to reach the uterus. This period is considered to be most fertile for a woman. If a sperm meets the egg in the oviduct, it fertilizes the egg and starts moving towards the uterus. Hence, any problem in the fallopian tubes can cause difficulty in conceiving.

Pain is the most common symptom due to problems in the oviducts. It is usually felt between the navel and the area where the pubic hair begins. So if you are experiencing pain in your lower abdomen, you may like to know the reasons for that.

One of the most common, as well as the least serious cause of such pain is ovulation. When the ovaries release eggs, the oviduct pushes it to the uterus. During this process, the oviduct contracts itself in a rhythmic motion, which is likely to cause pain on either side of the lower abdomen. This pain usually increases with the follicle bursting and then, becomes dull.

SYMPTOMS: Abdominal pain and pain during urination. Other symptoms include changes in the firmness of the cervix and breasts, spotting, vaginal discharge, increase in the body temperature, fever, and vomiting.
