Patient's question:
Female, 40 years old! Already has two children. Recently, she has been feeling discomfort in the lower abdomen and waist. After checking at the hospital, it was diagnosed as fallopian tube effusion. In her case, what are the better treatment methods for fallopian tube hydrops?Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx refers to the condition where the fallopian tubes are infected by pathogens, leading to inflammation. Due to the infiltration of inflammatory cells, the endometrium becomes swollen, the stroma swells, and exudation occurs. The fallopian tube mucosal epithelium may slough off, and the secretory fluid of the mucosal cells accumulates in the lumen. Alternatively, it may result from adhesions in the isthmus and fimbriae due to recurrent fallopian tube inflammation, causing blockage and leading to tubal abscess formation. When the pus cells in the lumen are digested, a watery liquid is eventually obtained.There are several treatment methods for hydrosalpinx, including surgical procedures such as American micro-guided wires, hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, and combined hysteroscopic and laparoscopic surgery. The appropriate treatment plan must be chosen based on the specific condition of your fallopian tubes.
