Patient's question:
The lower abdomen always has a dull pain, and I haven't been able to get pregnant after being married for many years. After checking at the hospital, they said it was due to hydrosalpinx. Please ask: How should hydrosalpinx be treated?Doctor's answer:
As a relatively common type of chronic tubal inflammation, it occurs after tubal inflammation or due to adhesion locking, where the secretion of mucosal cells accumulates in the lumen. Alternatively, it may result from recurrent tubal inflammation causing adhesion at the isthmus and fimbriae, leading to obstruction and the formation of tubal abscess. When the pus cells in the lumen are resolved, a watery liquid is eventually obtained. In some cases, the liquid is resolved, leaving an empty shell, which appears as an hydronephrosis shadow during imaging. Surgical treatment can be implemented, which can be divided into open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. The recurrence of tubal hydrops severely harms women's health, and patients need to pay attention to maintaining clean external genitalia throughout their lives to prevent sexual activity. Finally, it is hoped that female patients can receive effective treatment.
