Salpingitis


Diagnosis & Tests

How is the condition diagnosed?

The diagnosis of salpingitis is based on the symptoms, the medical history, and the personal history. A pelvic exam is usually done to check for tenderness, vaginal discharge, and swelling. The healthcare provider may order additional tests, such as:

  • an x-ray scan of the fallopian tubes, called salpingography
  • laparoscopy, a procedure in which a thin lighted tube is inserted into the abdomen to allow the doctor to look at the fallopian tubes and other organs
  • blood tests, including a complete blood count or CBC, to check for infection
  • a culture of the vaginal discharge
