Patient's question:
How is it best to treat hydrosalpinx? I found that both of my fallopian tubes have hydrosalpinx through imaging. This condition affects fertility, so how is the best treatment? How is it best to treat hydrosalpinx?Doctor's answer:
The fallopian tubes play a crucial role in transporting sperm, capturing eggs, and moving fertilized eggs to the uterine cavity. When the fallopian tubes are blocked, it obstructs the passage of sperm and fertilized eggs, leading to infertility or ectopic pregnancy. During 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 symptom of fallopian tube hydrops. It can be caused by untreated acute fallopian tube inflammation, such as incomplete miscarriage or retained placenta-induced inflammation, leading to adhesion of the fallopian tube mucosa. Fallopian tube blockage is a significant cause of female infertility. Patients should maintain clean external genital hygiene and avoid sexual activity in daily life. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive proper treatment.
