Patient's question:
I started trying to conceive right after getting married to my husband, and it has been many years now without success. My menstrual cycle has also been quite irregular, so I suspect it might be my issue. Can hydrosalpinx still be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, fallopian tube hydrosalpinx refers to the condition where the fallopian tubes are infected by pathogens, leading to inflammation. Due to the infiltration of inflammatory cells, the inner lining of the tubes becomes swollen, the stroma swells, and exudates accumulate. The epithelial cells of the fallopian tube mucosa may also shed, and the secretory fluid of the mucosal cells accumulates within the lumen. Alternatively, it may result from adhesions at the isthmus and fimbriae due to recurrent fallopian tube inflammation, causing blockage and leading to the formation of tubal pus. When the pus cells in the lumen are absorbed, a watery liquid is ultimately obtained. Long-term stimulation of the female fallopian tubes by fallopian tube hydrosalpinx can lead to blockage. Fallopian tube hydrosalpinx affects a person's fertility. Long-term stimulation of the female fallopian tubes by fallopian tube hydrosalpinx can easily lead to the occurrence of infertility.
