What should I do if I have hydrosalpinx?

Patient's question:

Lately, I've been feeling lower back pain and a heavy sensation in my lower abdomen. I'm not sure about going to the hospital for a check-up, but they said it's hydronephrosis of the fallopian tubes. What should I do if I have hydronephrosis of the fallopian tubes?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the initial symptoms of fallopian tube hydrops are not very obvious. In clinical diagnosis, fallopian tube hydrops in women refers to the condition where, after a secondary inflammation of the fallopian tubes, adhesions cause the tubes to become self-locked. The secretory fluid of the mucosal cells accumulates within the lumen of the fallopian tubes. A secondary inflammation may then lead to adhesions at the isthmus and fimbriae, causing blockage and forming fallopian tube abscesses. When the pus cells within the lumen are liquefied, they eventually become watery fluid. In some cases, the fluid may be completely liquefied, leaving behind an empty shell, which is observed during imaging as hydrops. It is recommended to visit a formal and professional hospital for a comprehensive and thorough examination. Based on the identified cause, appropriate treatment measures and fertility knowledge should be determined to achieve the best results!
