Patient's question:
Hydrosalpinx has been present for many years, and treatment has been ongoing throughout this period. Now that I am getting older, I really hope to have a child of my own soon, so I am quite anxious. Could you please answer the following question: Is hydrosalpinx treatable?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the initial symptoms of fallopian tube hydrops are not very obvious. In clinical diagnosis, fallopian tube hydrops in women refers to the condition where, after a secondary inflammation of the fallopian tubes, adhesions cause the tubes to become self-locked. The secretions of the mucosal cells accumulate within the lumen of the fallopian tubes. If the fallopian tubes are re-inflamed, adhesions may occur again at the isthmus and fimbriae, leading to blockage and the formation of fallopian tube abscesses. When the pus cells within the lumen are digested, a watery liquid is obtained. In some cases, the liquid is digested, leaving behind an empty shell, which appears as a hydrops shadow during imaging. It is recommended to visit a regular, professional hospital for a comprehensive and thorough examination, and then treat the condition based on the underlying cause.
