Patient's question:
I have been trying to conceive for a long time but haven't been able to get pregnant. Recently, I went for a check-up and was told that I have hydrosalpinx. Is it serious? I would like to ask: What is the best treatment for hydrosalpinx?Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx significantly affects a person's fertility because this condition chronically stimulates the fallopian tubes. The formation of life requires the combination of egg cells and sperm. Due to the accumulation of fluid, egg cells and sperm cannot combine, preventing the occurrence of fertilization. Hydrosalpinx is a relatively common type of chronic fallopian tube inflammation. After fallopian tube inflammation, or due to adhesions causing self-locking, the secretory fluid of the mucosal cells accumulates within the lumen. Alternatively, if fallopian tube inflammation recurs, adhesions may form at the isthmus and fimbriae, leading to blockage and the formation of fallopian tube abscesses. Hydrosalpinx can prevent egg cells and sperm from combining, resulting in infertility. It is important to promptly cooperate with medical treatment.
