Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of coldness. Can hydronephrosis of the fallopian tubes still be relieved? When my husband and I had a thorough examination, it was found that there was hydronephrosis in the fallopian tubes, and it has never improved. Why is this condition prone to interfering with pregnancy? What are the treatment methods? Can hydronephrosis of the fallopian tubes still be relieved?Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx refers to the condition where the fallopian tube is infected by pathogens, leading to inflammation. Due to the infiltration of inflammatory cells, the inner lining of the tube becomes swollen, the stroma swells, and exudates are formed. The epithelial cells of the fallopian tube mucosa may shed, and the secretory fluid of the mucosal cells accumulates in the lumen. Alternatively, due to recurrent inflammation of the fallopian tube, adhesions may form in the isthmus and fimbriae, leading to blockage and the formation of tubal pus. When the pus cells in the lumen are digested, a watery liquid is ultimately obtained. Long-term impact of hydrosalpinx on a woman's fallopian tubes can result in blockage.
