Patient's question:
I am a 33-year-old woman. At the age of 26, I gave birth to a daughter naturally and then had an IUD inserted. After the two-child policy was opened, I removed the IUD last year, but I have not been pregnant yet. Last month, a vaginal ultrasound indicated bilateral tubal hydrops, with other results being normal. I would like to ask how to treat tubal hydrops?Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx is a relatively severe type of fallopian tube inflammation, which is basically unable to complete pregnancy. If you want to conceive, it is recommended to undergo laparoscopic surgery to address the hydrosalpinx. The solutions include tubal ligation, tubal resection, and tubal ostomy. The specific method determines the severity of the hydrosalpinx that the surgical process will address. Even if considering IVF (in vitro fertilization), hydrosalpinx still poses adverse interference, and the fallopian tubes must be addressed. Otherwise, the hydrosalpinx may reflux into the uterus, interfering with embryo implantation.
