How to treat hydrosalpinx

We all know that the structure of the human body is very complex, especially the reproductive organs of women are somewhat different from those of men, so female friends must take good care of their bodies. Many women are prone to some diseases in the fallopian tubes due to miscarriage or unclean sexual intercourse, which can lead to infertility in women to a large extent and cause certain pain to the body. Among them, hydrosalpinx is the most common gynecological disease, which always brings women irregular menstruation, excessive secretions and abdominal pain, which can lead to infertility in women to a large extent. Sometimes it even breaks up many families. If such a disease occurs, you must master the treatment method and make timely adjustments. Let’s learn about the methods of treating hydrosalpinx.

How to treat hydrosalpinx

Patients with hydrosalpinx who have no obvious symptoms and no fertility requirements can be observed and followed up without treatment. However, if there is a desire to have children, surgical treatment is the best option. Traditional surgical methods include fallopian tube fimbria-ostomy or fallopian tube fenestration, and pelvic adhesion lysis. With the development of medical technology and the emergence of assisted reproductive technology, fallopian tube root resection has become a better choice for patients with hydrosalpinx.

1. Fallopian tube fimbria ostomy

Salpingostomy is a traditional treatment method suitable for patients with unobstructed proximal fallopian tubes but hydrops and atresia at the distal end.

2. Lysis of fallopian tube and ovarian adhesions

Adhesions of the fallopian tubes and ovaries are very common in patients with infertility and chronic pelvic pain. It is often caused by infection, endometriosis and previous surgery. Usually the attachments are fixed to the posterior leaflet of the broad ligament or to the lateral pelvic wall. The fimbria of the fallopian tube is often encapsulated. In severe cases, the appendages may be wrapped in the rectouterine fossa, making it very easy to damage the intestine during surgery. In this case, the fimbria of the fallopian tube is often normal, but is wrapped by severe adhesions and cannot communicate with the pelvic cavity.

Special care should be taken with adhesions between the ovary and the fallopian tube itself, especially at the fimbria of the fallopian tube. Avoid damage to the ovarian surface and fallopian tube fimbria as much as possible. Otherwise, new adhesions will form after surgery. Therefore, try not to use electrocoagulation or laser. Because it can produce thermal damage and form new adhesions.

3. Fallopian tube root resection

As mentioned above, infertility may be the only reason for patients with hydrosalpinx to seek medical treatment, and the above two surgeries can solve the infertility problem of some patients. However, because the hydrosalpinx and adhesions may recur soon after the operation, the effect is not significant. Repeated examinations or surgeries are not recommended to reduce the chances of infection in patients. With the development of medical technology, the emergence of assisted reproductive technology has provided more and more patients with the opportunity to treat infertility. Infertility due to fallopian tube factors is also an indication for assisted reproduction. If only routine ostomy and adhesion lysis are performed, the hydrops may recur quickly, which will be toxic to the embryo, affect the intrauterine environment, and also affect the development of the endometrium, further affecting the formation and implantation of the embryo and reducing the pregnancy rate. Therefore, patients with hydrosalpinx are most suitable to choose tubal root ligation to completely prevent hydrosalpinx from entering the uterine cavity, and then undergo assisted reproduction. Since the uterus is not damaged, assisted reproductive treatment can be received soon after the operation. However, natural pregnancy is almost impossible with a tubal ligation, so the procedure should only be performed with the patient's fully informed consent.

It is crucial to master the treatment methods when diseases occur in the body. Only by prescribing the right medicine can we make the body recover faster and reduce some pain. The above is an introduction to the methods of treating hydrosalpinx. After understanding it, once female friends have infertility, irregular menstruation, excessive secretions and low back pain, they should go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis in time before treatment. In addition, female friends must ensure good personal hygiene in daily life, and do not have multiple sexual partners. Try to take contraceptive measures when having sex without being prepared for pregnancy.
