Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Infection of urinary bladder and Fallopian tubes can be treated with use of appropriate use of a course of antibiotics and should not cause much worry to overcome the infection.
However, infection of Fallopian tubes might cause little concern as it may cause adhesions or blockage of the tubes post healing of infection, which could affect fertility. Due to this reason, she may require follow-up for tube patency at later stages in case she experiences difficulty in conceiving.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
