Patient's question:
We have been married for six years without having children. In September, we found out that we have bilateral tubal hydrops.Doctor's answer:
The interventional treatment of tubal embolization serves as a new method for managing tubal hydrosalpinx, avoiding both the pain of surgery and the impact on ovarian function. During the in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment cycle, its fertilization rate, cleavage rate, and other indicators are similar to those of patients with proximal tubal obstruction without hydrosalpinx.In summary, the interventional treatment of tubal embolization is an innovative and effective method for managing tubal hydrosalpinx, offering the following advantages compared to the conventional clinical methods currently in use:
1. The embolization of the proximal fallopian tube is performed using a mechanical method, which is a mechanical embolization and does not affect the intrauterine environment.
2. It avoids the pain, damage, risks, and complications associated with open surgery and laparoscopic surgery.
3. The procedure is performed under direct visualization with an X-ray machine, allowing both the operator and the patient’s family to clearly observe the entire process. It is simple, minimally invasive, and causes little pain. No anesthesia or only local anesthesia is required, making it low-risk. The patient remains conscious during the surgery, with a high success rate, cost-effectiveness, and no impact on ovarian function. The surgery can be completed in 20 minutes, allowing patients to leave immediately without the need for hospitalization.
Recommendations:
4. The pregnancy rate after this procedure significantly increases, and the risk of ectopic pregnancy is avoided.
5. It can restore the endocrine environment of the endometrium postoperatively.
