Patient's question:
Hydrosalpinx, I went to the hospital for a check-up, it's not very serious, but I've been feeling uncomfortable for a long time, and I haven't been able to get pregnant yet. Please ask: What are the signs of hydrosalpinx?Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx generally occurs after tubal inflammation or due to the accumulation of secretions from adhered self-locking mucosal cells within the lumen of the fallopian tube, or as a result of secondary adhesion and blockage of the isthmus and fimbriae caused by tubal inflammation, leading to tubal abscess formation. When the pus cells within the lumen are absorbed, they eventually transform into a watery liquid. In some cases, the liquid is absorbed, leaving an empty shell, which appears as a hydrosalpinx shadow during imaging.Hydrosalpinx can cause infertility, and even if pregnancy occurs, the chances of ectopic pregnancy are very high due to poor tubal conditions. Therefore, surgical treatment should be performed first. Procedures such as laparoscopic fimbrial resection and debridement can be considered, and the chances of pregnancy may increase after the surgery.
