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. How can I get a thorough check-up for hydrosalpinx?Doctor's answer:
Hysterosalpingography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Laparoscopic Imaging 1. Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Tubal hydrops can be identified on MRI, characterized by fluid-filled dark areas, confirming the acute phase of inflammation. This may include irregular fluid-filled dark areas on one or both sides of the uterus, sausage-like shapes, and abnormal echoes. 2. Tubal Contrast Angiography: Tubal contrast angiography is an effective imaging method to assess the patency of the fallopian tubes. It does not cause damage to the tubes and involves minimal discomfort. After the procedure, breastfeeding can be resumed the following month without any adverse reactions. 3. Laparoscopy: This method can directly diagnose tubal hydrops and clarify the condition of the fimbriae and adhesive conditions on three sides. Laparoscopic imaging is a correct and relatively advanced diagnostic technique.
