Patient's question:
For several years now, I have been experiencing intermittent vaginal discharge and changing my underwear daily. I have been married to my husband for five years, but we haven’t been able to conceive. I am already 33, so my family and in-laws have been very anxious. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have hydrosalpinx, which is why I am infertile. What causes hydrosalpinx?Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx is caused by intestinal obstruction at the fimbriae of the fallopian tube, and the intestinal obstruction at the fimbriae of the fallopian tube is caused by pathogenic infection leading to fallopian tube inflammation. Due to bacterial infection, white blood cell infiltration results in endometrial edema, stromal edema, and exudation, as well as fallopian tube mucosal epithelial shedding. Additionally, due to the tight encapsulation by surrounding fibrous tissue and the organization of granulation tissue, the mucosa becomes adhered or the fimbriae adhere, leading to fallopian tube blockage. When the fimbriae are adhered, it constitutes intestinal obstruction at the fimbriae.Furthermore, during the treatment of gynecological diseases, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. Patients must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of gynecological diseases.
