Can hydrosalpinx be treated?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been feeling lower back pain and a heavy sensation in my lower abdomen. I'm not at ease about going to the hospital for a check-up, and they said it's due to fluid accumulation in the fallopian tubes. My question is: Can fallopian tube hydrops be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, as a relatively common type of chronic tubal inflammation, after tubal inflammation or due to adhesion locking, the secretory fluid of the mucosal cells accumulates in the lumen, or due to recurrent tubal inflammation causing adhesion at the isthmus and fimbriae, blockage leads to tubal abscess formation. For tubal fimbrial obstruction, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination based on the images from tubal contrast angiography, and have experienced tubal specialists evaluate the extent of damage to the fimbrial oocyte pickup function. Director Yuan Weiqing cited that if the fimbriae undergo tubal ostomy surgery, there is a higher possibility of significant functional recovery, and surgical methods can be adopted for treatment.
