Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery last month, and now I always feel discomfort down there, a bit itchy, and have a lot of discharge that is yellow and smells fishy and foul. What is going on? Please ask: How can tubal hydrops be treated quickly?Doctor's answer:
① Unprotected sexual activity, excessive sexual intercourse, or masturbation during menstruation may lead to re-infection and recurrent salpingitis, which can result in hydrosalpinx.② Improper induced abortion and childbirth, postpartum, or post-abortion and post-menstruation can cause adnexal infection, adhesion, and accumulation of mucosal cell secretions within the lumen. Additionally, recurrent inflammation of the isthmus and fimbriae of the fallopian tube may lead to adhesion and gradual accumulation of exudate and transudate in the tubal lumen, ultimately causing hydrosalpinx.
③ Infection from adjacent organs: Infection may spread from surrounding tissues and organs, typically from reproductive tract infections such as cervicitis, endometritis, etc., leading to retrograde infection. It may also be seen in cases of suppurative appendicitis or peritonitis extending to the fallopian tubes, affecting pelvic reproductive organs.
