Patient's question:
Female, 52 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing severe itching in the outer vaginal area and around the vaginal opening, and the discharge also has a strong odor. Please ask: How should tubal hydrops be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx refers to the condition where the fallopian tube is infected by pathogens, leading to edema of the inner membrane and stroma due to the infiltration of white blood cells, as well as exudation and shedding of the fallopian tube mucosal epithelium. If the acute inflammation of the fallopian tube is not treated promptly and effectively, it can result in pyosalpinx. After the inflammation subsides, the pus gradually transforms into serous fluid, and the intrauterine fluid changes from purulent to serous, which then becomes hydrosalpinx.How should bilateral hydrosalpinx be treated? Since individual conditions and causes vary, it is essential to conduct a targeted and thorough examination based on personal circumstances. Under the guidance of a doctor, symptomatic treatment should be administered.
