Patient's question:
Lower abdomen always, and have been married for many years but still haven't been pregnant, went to the hospital for checkup and said it was fallopian tube hydrops. Please ask: What causes fallopian tube hydropsDoctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx is a common disease in women, often a more frequent type of chronic tubal inflammation. The cause of hydrosalpinx is post-tubitis, or due to adhesions locking, where the secretions of mucosal cells accumulate within the lumen. It can also be caused by recurrent tubal inflammation leading to adhesions at the isthmus and fimbriae, resulting in blocked tubal abscess formation. When the pus cells in the lumen are liquefied, a watery liquid forms, leading to hydrosalpinx. Infertility is often the only manifestation of hydrosalpinx. Tubal blockage is a major cause of female infertility, with its inflammatory causes primarily based on inflammation.
