Patient's question:
Diagnosed with hydrosalpinx, haven't told my family yet, afraid they'll worry. Does hydrosalpinx affect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx is a relatively common cause of infertility. It is formed when inflammation of the fallopian tube lining or pelvic inflammation leads to partial or complete adhesion of the fallopian tube fimbriae, causing fluid within the fallopian tubes to be unable to drain from the lumen and gradually accumulate.Recommendations: Hydrosalpinx often does not cause obvious symptoms in many people. Some individuals may experience one-sided or bilateral lower abdominal pain, a heavy sensation, increased secretions, or lower back pain.
