Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery last month, and now I always feel discomfort down there, a bit itchy, and there's also a lot of discharge, which is yellow and smells fishy. What could be going on? Please ask: How is hydrosalpinx treated?Doctor's answer:
Regarding hospitals for treating infertility, hydrosalpinx is a common type of chronic tubal inflammation. After tubal inflammation, or due to adhesion locking, the secretions of the mucosal cells accumulate in the lumen. Alternatively, recurrent tubal inflammation may lead to adhesion between the isthmus and fimbria, causing blockage and forming tubal abscess. When the pus cells in the lumen are resolved, a watery liquid is eventually obtained. In some cases, the liquid is resolved, leaving behind a hollow shell, which appears as a hydrosalpinx shadow during imaging.Patients with hydrosalpinx who show no obvious symptoms and have no fertility concerns can be carefully monitored with follow-up without the need for treatment. However, if fertility is desired, surgical treatment is the best option. Traditional surgical methods include fimbrial ostomy, tubal fenestration, or pelvic adhesion release.
