Patient's question:
Chronic pain on both sides or one side of the abdomen, especially before and during menstruation, when it worsens during the menstrual period, is a sense of heaviness in the abdomen.，Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx is a relatively common type of chronic tubal inflammation. After tubal inflammation, or due to adhesion and self-locking, the secretory fluid of the mucosal cells accumulates in the lumen. Alternatively, recurrent tubal inflammation may lead to adhesion at the isthmus and fimbriae, causing blockage and forming tubal abscess. When the pus cells in the lumen are digested, a watery liquid is ultimately obtained. In some cases, the liquid is digested, leaving behind an empty shell, which appears as a hydrosalpinx shadow during imaging. Tubal-ovarian adhesion is very common in patients with infertility and chronic pelvic pain. It is often caused by infection, endometriosis, and previous surgery.
