Patient's question:
I had an appendiceal cyst surgery on August 26, 2008, but in March 2009, I was checked and found hydrosalpinx on one side. Will this affect pregnancy? Is there a possibility of an ectopic pregnancy? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Fertilization is a very complex physiological process. It requires the fusion of sperm and egg to form a zygote, which ultimately implants in the uterine cavity. In addition to having normal sperm, eggs, and an appropriate intrauterine environment, it is also an important step in the process of fertilization for sperm and eggs to meet and be successfully transported to the uterine cavity. This task is completed by the fallopian tubes. If the fallopian tubes are inflamed, leading to blockage, preventing sperm from meeting the egg and causing infertility, it is referred to as tubal obstructive infertility. The fallopian tubes are divided into four parts from the inside out based on their morphology: the isthmus, ampulla, fimbriae, and interstitial part. Clinically, 80% of infertility patients are caused by fallopian tube factors. Fallopian tube blockage is often caused by artificial abortion, spontaneous abortion, medication-induced abortion, induced abortion, unclean sexual intercourse, pelvic infection, etc., leading to adhesion, congestion, and edema of the fallopian tube wall, which blocks the passage and prevents sperm from meeting the egg, ultimately resulting in infertility. This condition can be treated using advanced three-mirror combined technology (fallopian tube, hysteroscope, and laparoscope) to directly act on the affected area and clear the reproductive passage. This technology is painless, has a quick recovery time, and has a high pregnancy rate. It is recommended that you bring your relevant medical records to a specialized hospital for diagnosis to determine an appropriate treatment plan, improve the pregnancy rate, and also avoid the risk of ectopic pregnancy again.
