Can hydrosalpinx be treated?

Patient's question:

I've been divorced for 4 years and haven't been able to get pregnant. My husband accompanied me to the hospital for a thorough examination, and it was found that I have fallopian tube effusion. Can fallopian tube effusion be treated?

Doctor's answer:

The fluid from tubal hydrops can reflux into the uterine cavity, interfering with endometrial receptivity and causing toxic effects on the embryo, leading to infertility in patients. After 4 years of marriage without pregnancy, examination revealed tubal hydrops, and it was recommended to undergo laparoscopic surgery for exploration. The surgery can clarify the cause of tubal hydrops and provide treatment, and it can also predict how to restore tubal patency. Tubal hydrops is primarily treated through fimbrial ostomy surgery, but postoperative complications may occur. If the diameter of tubal hydrops is greater than 3 centimeters, the surgical outcome is poor, and assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF are often used to aid conception.
