Patient's question:
After the contrast examination, it was found that both of my fallopian tubes have hydrosalpinx. How should this condition, which interferes with conception, be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the fallopian tubes play a crucial role in transporting sperm, capturing eggs, and moving fertilized eggs to the uterine cavity. When fallopian tubes are blocked, it obstructs the passage of sperm and fertilized eggs, leading to infertility or ectopic pregnancy. In cases of fallopian tube hydrops, the dilated and undilated parts of the tube remain connected, so patients often experience intermittent vaginal discharge. Infertility is often the only manifestation of fallopian tube hydrops. It can be caused by unresolved acute fallopian tube inflammation, such as adhesions of the fallopian tube mucosa due to incomplete miscarriage or retained placenta-induced inflammation. Fallopian tube blockage is a significant cause of female infertility.
