Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What are the causes of hydrosalpinx?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hydrosalpinx is a relatively common type of chronic tubal inflammation. After tubal inflammation, or due to adhesion locking, the secretions of the mucosal cells accumulate in the lumen, or because of 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 eventually obtained. In some cases, the liquid is digested leaving an empty shell, which appears as a hydrosalpinx shadow during imaging. The cause of hydrosalpinx needs to be clearly identified, and then treatment should be targeted at the root cause. It is recommended that you go to a formal fertility hospital as soon as possible for a detailed examination to identify the specific cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Do not miss the best time for treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
