What are the dangers of postpartum hydrosalpinx?

Some women will find a phenomenon after giving birth, that is, hydrosalpinx. This problem cannot be ignored, of course, because postpartum hydrosalpinx will have a lot of impact and harm on women's physical health. So here we will introduce to women the major hazards of postpartum hydrosalpinx. I hope every woman should pay attention to these health common sense.

Harm 1: Hydrosalpinx can lead to infertility: After the fallopian tube is infected, it will be slightly or moderately swollen, the fimbria may be partially or completely closed, and adhere to the surrounding tissues. If the fallopian tube and isthmus are closed due to inflammation, serous exudate accumulates to form hydrosalpinx; all of the above conditions will affect the passage of sperm, eggs and fertilized eggs through the fallopian tube, greatly reducing the chance of female pregnancy and even leading to infertility, so female friends are reminded to pay attention.

The second harm is that hydrosalpinx can induce ectopic pregnancy: hydrosalpinx is the most common cause of ectopic pregnancy, so the prevention and treatment of hydrosalpinx is the most important. Pay attention to hygiene after delivery, after miscarriage and during menstruation to prevent infection. If inflammation occurs, it should be treated promptly and thoroughly. High-risk groups for ectopic pregnancy include those with a history of adnexitis and pelvic inflammatory disease, those with a history of fallopian tube surgery, infertile patients, and those with a history of ectopic pregnancy.

Treatment of hydrosalpinx:

The current treatment options for hydrosalpinx are to perform open or laparoscopic tubal ostomy 3-7 days after the menstrual period ends, with a success rate of about 20%; if in vitro fertilization is not possible, the success rate of in vitro fertilization is also about 20%. If IVF is successful, it may also cause miscarriage. Generally, the embryo is easily washed away by the ascending hydrosalpinx. Hydrosalpinx is not suitable for IVF. The best treatment for hydrosalpinx is electronic hysterectomy. In the enlarged part of the atretic end of the fallopian tube fimbria, it is generally not necessary to retain the stent. Dynamic digital hysterosalpingography with iodized oil is advisable early after the operation, and X-ray angiography recanalization is not advisable. For patients with more severe adhesions, the use of stents can prevent the formation of new adhesions.

The above are the adverse effects and harms that hydrosalpinx brings to women. After analyzing and introducing these contents, female friends should be more vigilant. In daily life, they should pay attention to these reproductive health issues. No matter what reproductive diseases they encounter, they should pay attention to timely examination and treatment.
