Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling lower back pain and a heavy sensation in my lower abdomen. I'm not at ease about going to the hospital for a check-up, and they said I have hydrosalpinx. Could you please tell me: Can hydrosalpinx be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx: This is a relatively common type of chronic tubal inflammation. After tubal inflammation, or due to adhesions causing self-locking, the secretions of the mucosal cells accumulate within the lumen. Alternatively, recurrent tubal inflammation may lead to adhesions at the isthmus and fimbriae, causing blockage and resulting in tubal abscess formation. When the pus cells within the lumen are resolved, a watery liquid is ultimately obtained. In some cases, the liquid is resolved, leaving behind an empty shell, which appears as a hydrosalpinx shadow during imaging.Hydrosalpinx is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During medication, women need to pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining clean external genitalia and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish all female patients a speedy recovery!
