Patient's question:
For a year without any form of contraception with my husband, I haven't been able to get pregnant. The check-up revealed that I have hydrosalpinx. What is the root cause of hydrosalpinx?Doctor's answer:
Abortion, spontaneous abortion, medication-induced abortion, induced abortion, unsafe sex, pelvic infection, etc., can lead to adhesion, bleeding, and edema of the fallopian tube wall, resulting in blockage. This can also be caused by incomplete abortion or retained placenta, leading to inflammation. In some cases, individuals with intrauterine devices may develop chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Long-term inflammatory stimulation can cause the fallopian tubes to thicken, harden, become adhesive, and narrow, with adhesions forming in different positions of the fallopian tubes.There are several reasons why hydrosalpinx can cause infertility, and different causes require different treatments. Only by addressing the root cause can the disease be effectively cured. It is recommended that patients seek professional medical examination and treatment as early as possible. Good luck with your pregnancy!
