Salpingo-peritonitis

Salpingo-peritonitis is an inflammation that affects the uterine tubes and the peritoneum that lines the pelvic cavity, generally from the spread of an infection within the pelvis.

Common symptoms: pain in the lower abdomen or the pelvis, fever, general malaise, and, at times, associated discharge or discomfort.

When should you seek care? In the case of intense or persistent pelvic pain accompanied by fever, it is important to seek care, since it is a situation that requires timely evaluation.

Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the one who assesses and provides follow-up for salpingo-peritonitis. Because of the importance of treating pelvic infections in time, the most advisable course is to place yourself in the hands of a professional in the face of these symptoms.
