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: What are the symptoms of late-stage hydrosalpinx?Doctor's answer:
Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to chronic inflammation of the female internal reproductive organs and surrounding connective tissues, as well as the pelvic peritoneum. Its main clinical manifestations include menstrual disorders, increased vaginal discharge, lower abdominal and back pain, and infertility. If it has developed into chronic adnexitis, palpable masses may be present. The main points are as follows:1. Systemic inflammation is usually not significant, and low-grade fever may occasionally recur. Patients often feel easily fatigued. Due to the prolonged course of the disease, some patients may also experience neurosis. When patients' resistance increases, acute or subacute relapses are prone to occur.
2. Scarring and adhesions caused by chronic inflammation, as well as pelvic congestion, often lead to a heavy and distended lower abdomen, pain, and lower back and sacral soreness.
3. Due to pelvic congestion, patients may experience excessive menstrual bleeding. Impaired ovarian function can cause menstrual disorders, and fallopian tube adhesions and blockages can result in infertility.
