Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially severe during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect my fertility. Additionally, I feel extremely cold and fear the cold.How should I treat hydrosalpinx?
Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx refers to the condition where the fallopian tubes are infected by pathogens, leading to inflammation. As a result of the infiltration of inflammatory cells, the endometrium becomes swollen, the stroma swells and exudes, the fallopian tube mucosal epithelium peels off, and the secretory fluid of the mucosal cells accumulates in the lumen. Alternatively, it may be caused by recurrent inflammation of the fallopian tubes, leading to adhesions at the isthmus and fimbriae, which block the tubes and form tubal abscesses. When the pus cells in the lumen are digested, they eventually become a watery liquid. Hydrosalpinx is a common gynecological disease, and its incidence rate in clinical diagnosis has been continuously increasing in recent years, severely threatening women's physical and mental health. Hydrosalpinx often destroys the fallopian tube mucosa, and severe hydrosalpinx can even completely impair the normal function of the fallopian tubes, causing them to reverse and lead to hemorrhagic infarction, making it one of the causes of gynecological acute abdominal diseases.
