Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery last month, and now I always feel discomfort down there, a bit itchy, and there's also a lot of discharge, yellow in color, with a foul, fishy smell. What's going on with this? Please ask: How is hydrosalpinx treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx is caused by intestinal obstruction at the fimbriae of the fallopian tube, and the intestinal obstruction at the fimbriae is triggered by tubal inflammation induced 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 the fibrosis of surrounding fibrous tissue and the 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.Section on Common Causes of Hydrosalpinx Blockage
Artificial abortion, spontaneous abortion, medication-induced abortion, induced abortion, unclean masturbation, pelvic infection, etc., can cause adhesion, congestion, and edema of the fallopian tube wall, leading to blockage. This prevents sperm from combining with eggs, ultimately resulting in infertility.
