Patient's question:
I've recently been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very concerned about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and sensitive to cold. How much does it cost to treat hydrosalpinx?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 within 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 within the lumen are absorbed, a watery liquid is eventually obtained. In some cases, the fluid is absorbed, leaving an empty shell, which appears as a hydrosalpinx shadow during imaging. Due to factors such as medical equipment, technical facilities, hospital environment, and doctors' experience, the charging standards vary among different hospitals.
