Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery last month, and now I always feel discomfort down there, a bit itchy, and also have a lot of discharge that is yellow and smells fishy, fishy. What is going on? Please ask: How is common fallopian tube hydrops treated?Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx generally occurs after tubal inflammation or due to the accumulation of secretions from adhered mucosal cells within the lumen of the fallopian tube. It can also result from secondary adhesions and blockages at the isthmus and fimbriae following tubal inflammation, leading to tubal abscess formation. When the pus cells within the lumen are resolved, a watery liquid is ultimately obtained. In some cases, the liquid may be resolved, leaving behind an empty shell, which appears as a hydrosalpinx shadow during imaging.Hydrosalpinx can cause infertility. Even if pregnancy occurs, the poor condition of the fallopian tubes significantly increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, surgical treatment should be performed first. Laparoscopic fimbrial reversal debridement surgery can be an option, and it may enhance the chances of pregnancy after the procedure.
