Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I had an ovarian cyst. Following the doctor's advice, I started treatment. When I went to the hospital for a follow-up yesterday, the doctor said it wasn't an ovarian cyst but rather hydronephrosis of the fallopian tubes. The misdiagnosis of hydronephrosis as an ovarian cyst—now, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx misdiagnosed as an ovarian cyst. Now that it has been confirmed as hydrosalpinx, treatment should be based on the condition of hydrosalpinx. If the ovarian cyst was previously treated conservatively, it usually involves blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs, which have no adverse effects on hydrosalpinx. Hydrosalpinx generally requires anti-inflammatory treatment. If the hydrosalpinx is severe, surgical treatment may be necessary. Hydrosalpinx is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining clean external genitalia and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
