Fallopian Tube Inflammation

It often begins with a pulling pain in the lower abdomen — one-sided or both sides — accompanied by fever, discharge, sometimes nausea. The fallopian tubes — two fine, muscular channels connecting egg and uterus — are inflamed. Medically, salpingitis is usually caused by bacteria, often ascending through the cervix. Left untreated, it can cause adhesions, threaten fertility, become chronic.

But there is a question that goes beyond bacteriology: Why does inflammation strike precisely the channel that creates connection? The passage through which new life begins? Why does it burn in the very place where receiving and passing on meet?

Inflammation is never only destruction. It is also a call — loud, urgent, impossible to ignore. Your body screams where you yourself have been silent for a long time.
