Patient's question:
Hydrosalpinx, I went to the hospital for a check-up, it's not very serious, but I've been feeling uncomfortable for a long time, and I haven't been able to get pregnant yet. Please ask: How should hydrosalpinx be treated?Doctor's answer:
Since the dilated and undilated parts of the fallopian tube can still be connected when there is hydrosalpinx, patients often experience intermittent vaginal discharge. Infertility is often the only manifestation of fallopian tube hydrosalpinx. Fallopian tube obstruction is a major cause of female infertility, and its inflammatory causes are based on inflammation. Its formation can be caused by incomplete treatment or delayed treatment of acute salpingitis, such as incomplete abortion or retained placenta leading to inflammation. In some cases, individuals with intrauterine devices may develop chronic salpingitis, with long-term inflammatory stimulation causing the fallopian tubes to become thickened, hardened, adhesive, narrowed, or even adhered to surrounding tissues, thereby affecting the fallopian tube's egg retrieval function and sperm-egg injection ability. Patients with fallopian tube obstruction often exhibit symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammation, such as pain on one or both sides of the lower abdomen, a heavy sensation, excessive discharge, and lower back pain.
