Patient's question:
Feeling unwell, I usually don't notice anything, but I just feel uncomfortable, and I'm not pregnant either. Please ask: What are the risks of not treating hydrosalpinx?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hydrosalpinx can lead to infertility. Hydrosalpinx refers to inflammation of the fallopian tubes caused by pathogens, resulting in edema of the inner lining, interstitial edema, and exudation. The fallopian tube mucosal epithelium may slough off, and the secretory fluid of the mucosal cells accumulates in the lumen. Alternatively, it may be caused by adhesions at the isthmus and fimbriae due to recurrent fallopian tube inflammation, leading to blockage and the formation of tubal abscesses. When the pus cells in the lumen are absorbed, a watery liquid is ultimately obtained. Hydrosalpinx can easily affect a woman's fertility. The long-term stimulation of the fallopian tubes by hydrosalpinx can lead to the occurrence of infertility. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
