Lubricating bleeding

Spotting (also called intermediate bleeding) can be an indication of an inflammation of the fallopian tubes. This is a weak, brownish bleeding that occurs outside the period. The fallopian tubes are affected by the bacterial infection and slight bleeding from the vagina can occur.Spotting can also have harmless causes (e.g. hormone fluctuations) and does not necessarily indicate an abdominal disease. In combination with fever and pain, spotting is to be taken very seriously and must be clarified by a doctor. You can find detailed information under spotting.

Outflow

A common symptom of inflammation of the fallopian tubes is a foul-smelling, yellowish discharge from the vagina. The natural flora of the vagina is upset by the proliferation of bacteria and the inflammatory process in the abdomen. This results in unusual vaginal discharge. An outflow that differs in color and odor from normal vaginal discharge is always a sign of abdominal disease and must be examined by a gynecologist. You can find a more detailed description under vaginal discharge.

Pain when urinating

Due to the inflammation of the fallopian tubes, those affected feel pain when they urinate. The inflammation in the abdomen caused by bacteria can also spread to the urinary tract and therefore lead to burning or itching discomfort when emptying the bladder. Burning pain during urination is also characteristic of cystitis and does not necessarily indicate an inflammation of the fallopian tubes.

Vomiting

Vomiting is a relatively unspecific symptom that can have many causes. Vomiting can also occur in cases of inflammation of the fallopian tubes. The inflammation in the lower abdomen irritates the vomiting center in the brain and causes vomiting. However, vomiting alone is not a clear indication of an inflammation of the fallopian tubes, but in combination with abdominal pain or unusual vaginal discharge a doctor should be consulted.

Nausea

Nausea is often accompanied by vomiting and can indicate a disease of the abdominal organs. The bacteria that lead to inflammation of the fallopian tubes release toxins that in turn activate the vomiting center in the brain. This causes nausea and possibly even vomiting.

However, the pain in the lower abdomen can also be so severe due to the inflammation that the affected women feel nauseous. The nausea often occurs in combination with dizziness, paleness and sweating. Pain in the lower abdomen and nausea can be a sign of an acute inflammation of the fallopian tubes and require immediate specialist treatment.
