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 my own child as soon as possible, so I am quite anxious. Could you please tell me: How is hydrosalpinx treated?Doctor's answer:
Medical term, it is a relatively common type of chronic tubal inflammation. After tubal inflammation, or due to adhesion locking, the secretory fluid of the mucosal cells accumulates in the lumen, or due to recurrent tubal inflammation causing adhesion of the isthmus and fimbriae, blockage leads to tubal abscess formation. When the pus cells in the lumen are digested, a watery liquid is obtained. Some liquid may be digested leaving only an empty shell, which appears as an effusion shadow during imaging. Surgical methods can be used for treatment, and surgical treatment can be divided into open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. For patients with tubal effusion, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care during the treatment period, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private parts clean. At the same time, female patients should be advised to undergo follow-up examinations regularly.
