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, which is yellow and smells fishy and foul. What could be going on? Please ask: How can tubal hydrops be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx is caused by intestinal obstruction at the fimbriae of the fallopian tube, and the intestinal obstruction at the fimbriae of the fallopian tube is triggered by tubal inflammation caused by pathogenic infection. Due to bacterial infection, white blood cell infiltration leads to edema of the endometrium, interstitial edema, exudation, and shedding of the fallopian tube mucosal epithelium. Additionally, due to fibrosis of surrounding fibrous tissue and organization of granulation tissue, the mucosa becomes adhered or the fimbriae become adhered, resulting in fallopian tube blockage. When the fimbriae are adhered, it constitutes intestinal obstruction at the fimbriae. Fallopian tube hydrosalpinx blockage is a common cause.Induced abortion, spontaneous abortion, medication-induced abortion, induced labor, unclean masturbation, pelvic infection, etc., can cause adhesion, congestion, and edema of the fallopian tube wall, leading to blockage, preventing sperm from fertilizing the egg, and ultimately resulting in infertility.
