Patient's question:
These days, while washing my underwear, I always find a lot of curd-like secretions on them, and they smell very bad. I also feel that my private area is always damp and itchy, and my lower abdomen is uncomfortable. I would like to ask: How can I treat tubal hydrops to see noticeable results?Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx refers to the accumulation of secretions from the mucosal cells in the lumen of the fallopian tube after tubitis or due to adhesions causing self-locking. Alternatively, it can occur when recurrent tubitis leads to adhesions at the isthmus and fimbriae, blocking the tube and forming tubal pus. When the pus cells in the lumen are digested, a watery liquid is ultimately obtained.The traditional treatment for this condition is tubal ostomy. It is recommended to undergo a contrast examination at the hospital for a precise diagnosis and symptomatic treatment. If the amount of hydrosalpinx is relatively small, conservative treatment may be sufficient. However, if the hydrosalpinx is large or has developed into a significant tubo-ovarian cyst, conservative treatment is often ineffective, and surgical intervention should be considered. For younger patients with normal-looking ovaries, the fallopian tube can be removed while preserving the ovary.
