Patient's question:
Hydrosalpinx has been present for many years, and treatment has been ongoing throughout this period. Now that I am getting older, I really hope to have a child of my own as soon as possible, so I am quite anxious. Could you please tell me: what are the routine tests required for hydrosalpinx?Doctor's answer:
1. MRI can confirm hydrosalpinx and can also show what can be reflected on MRI. However, MRI can only suggest fluid-filled dark areas and cannot ultimately diagnose how the hydrosalpinx developed. But it will reflect the acute phase on MRI, showing irregular fluid-filled dark areas on one or both sides of the uterus, appearing like sausages, with abnormal echoes inside.2. Contrast examination Contrast examination is currently the simplest and most reliable method for diagnosing hydrosalpinx. X-ray manifestations show that the female fallopian tubes are fully exposed and the fimbriae are thickened and extended rapidly. Delayed films show residual shadows of bilateral fallopian tubes, while there is no contrast agent diffused in the pelvic cavity. The occurrence of tubal hydrosalpinx severely threatens women's health, and patients need to pay attention to follow-up examinations after menstruation, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
