Patient's question:
What should be done about hydrosalpinx? Because I have had dysmenorrhea for a long time, but recently for the past year, it has been particularly severe. I went for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was hydrosalpinx. Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx is a relatively common type of chronic tubal inflammation. After tubal inflammation, or due to adhesion and self-locking, the secretory fluid of the mucosal cells accumulates in the lumen. Alternatively, if tubal inflammation recurs, leading to adhesion at the isthmus and fimbriae, it can block the formation of tubal abscess. When the pus cells in the lumen are digested, a watery liquid is ultimately obtained. In some cases, the fluid is digested, leaving only an empty shell. It is a common disease that can lead to infertility. Tubal disease is an easily occurring gynecological condition, and during treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care.
