Patient's question:
I'm only in my early twenties this year, and I just got married. I'm trying to conceive, but during the check-up, I found out I have hydrosalpinx. The doctor said the chances of getting pregnant like this are very low. What should I do? Please ask: How is hydrosalpinx treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hydrosalpinx refers to inflammation of the fallopian tubes caused by pathogens, leading to edema of the inner membrane, 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 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. Hydrosalpinx can easily cause long-term irritation to the female fallopian tubes, leading to tubal blockage in women. After tubal blockage, the likelihood of sperm and egg fertilization significantly increases. Patients should seek medical attention promptly for thorough examination and treatment.
