Patient's question:
I started trying to conceive right after getting married to my husband, and it has been many years now with no success. My menstrual cycle has also been quite irregular, so I suspect it might be my problem. I would like to ask, how should one treat hydrosalpinx?Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx refers to a common type of chronic tubal inflammation. After tubal inflammation, or due to adhesion locking, the secretions of mucosal cells accumulate in the lumen. Alternatively, recurrent tubal inflammation may lead to adhesion at the isthmus and fimbriae, causing blockage and forming tubal abscess. When the pus cells in the lumen are absorbed, a watery liquid is ultimately obtained. In most cases, hydrosalpinx is caused by gynecological inflammation. Simple drug treatment is ineffective, and early surgery is necessary to avoid delaying the condition. Surgical treatment includes open surgery and minimally invasive surgery. Hydrosalpinx is an easily recurring gynecological disease. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
