Patient's question:
For a year without any contraceptive measures with my husband, I haven't been able to get pregnant. After checking, they said it's because of my hydrosalpinx. What is the root cause of hydrosalpinx?Doctor's answer:
Abortion, spontaneous abortion, medication abortion, induced abortion, unsafe sex, pelvic infection, etc., can cause adhesion, bleeding, and edema of the fallopian tube wall, leading to blockage. This can also result from incomplete treatment or delayed treatment of acute salpingitis, leading to adhesion of the fallopian tube mucosa. It can also be caused by incomplete abortion or retained placenta, which induces inflammation. In some cases, individuals with an intrauterine device (IUD) may develop chronic salpingitis, where prolonged inflammatory stimulation causes the fallopian tube to thicken, harden, and become adhesive and narrowed. Adhesion and self-locking of the fallopian tube can occur at different positions.There are several reasons why hydrosalpinx can lead to infertility. Different causes require different treatments. Only by addressing the root cause can the disease be cured. It is recommended that patients seek professional medical examination and treatment early. Good luck with pregnancy!
