Patient's question:
My wife has hydrosalpinx and has had several miscarriages before. She tends to have habitual abortions and wants to see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Can traditional Chinese medicine treat hydrosalpinx? What are the causes of it? What kind of help is desired: How effective is traditional Chinese medicine for treating hydrosalpinx?Doctor's answer:
Hydrosalpinx refers to the condition where the fallopian tube is infected by pathogens, leading to inflammation. As a result of the infiltration of inflammatory cells, the inner lining of the tube becomes swollen, the stroma swells, exudates accumulate, and the fallopian tube mucosal epithelium peels off. Secretions from the mucosal cells accumulate within the lumen. Alternatively, it may occur due to adhesions and blockages in the isthmus and fimbriae caused by recurrent fallopian tube inflammation, resulting in the formation of tubal pus. When the pus cells within the lumen are digested, a watery liquid is ultimately obtained.
