                                  Acute salpingitis





 Pelvic pain is the main symptom of acute salpingitis.An infection in the vagina or cervix often causes salpingitis. If this infection travels up into your uterus (womb), it can reach your fallopian tubes. You may get the infection, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, by having sex with someone who is infected. A surgery or a procedure, such as childbirth or insertion of an IUD, can also cause acute salpingitis. But this is rare. Salpingitis most commonly happens to women who are young and sexually active. But, it can happen in women of any age. 

Salpingitis is also called pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID means that there is an infection and inflammation in any of the reproductive organs. Acute salpingitis is the specific term for infection of the fallopian tubes.

 The symptoms of acute salpingitis

Some women with acute salpingitis have symptoms, such as:

  • Lower or upper abdominal pain

  • Abnormal bleeding

  • Abnormal vaginal discharge

  • Painful urination

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Painful intercourse

  • Fever

Some women may have no symptoms 

Acute salpingitis diagnosed

There is no single test to diagnose salpingitis. Instead, your health care provider performs different tests to rule out other problems. First, your health care provider does a pelvic exam and asks about your symptoms and health history. Then, you will probably have one or more of the following tests:

  • Urine test to check samples of your urine for signs of infection

  • Blood tests to check samples of your blood in the lab for problems

  • Vaginal or cervical swabs to take a samples and check them for infection

  • Pelvic ultrasound to look at images of your pelvic organs

  • Endometrial biopsy to take a sample of cells from the inside of your uterus and check them for infection

  • Laparoscopic surgery may be needed in some cases to diagnose or treat acute salpingitis





Treating acute salpingitis

To treat the infection, your health care provider will give you antibiotics. If the infection is mild, you will be able to take these at home. Take all the medicine as directed until it is gone, even if you feel better. In some cases, you may also get an injection of medicine. If the infection is severe, you may need to stay in the hospital. This is so you can get antibiotics through an IV line. In most cases, antibiotics will cure the infection. Sometimes surgery is needed to treat the infection.

Follow-up care

Salpingitis is a type of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID refers to an infection of the reproductive organs. It develops when harmful bacteria enter the reproductive tract. Salpingitis and other forms of PID usually result from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that involve bacteria, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea.

Salpingitis causes inflammation of the fallopian tubes. Inflammation can spread easily from one tube to the other, so both tubes may become affected. If left untreated, salpingitis can result in long-term complications.

If you get treatment right away, salpingitis can be cured. Be sure to keep your follow-up appointment with your health care provider to be sure your infection is gone. Sexual partners of women with acute salpingitis may also need to be tested for infection, even if they have no symptoms. Treatment is important to prevent reinfection. If you are having trouble getting pregnant, you may have tests to check for any damage to your fallopian tubes from the infections.

Because the glycogen can not break down the accumulated glycogen is structurally abnormal and impairs the function of certain organs and tissues, especially the liver and muscles. It is also called   Cori Disease, Forbe's Disease or Debrancher Enzyme Deficiency.  The disorder is caused by a defect  in the debrancher enzyme gene , which interferes with the breakdown of glycogen (stored sugar) in the muscles and liver.
