What are the clinical manifestations of hydrosalpinx?

Hydrosalpinx is a relatively common female disease and a gynecological inflammation. It is very harmful to the female body. Improper abortion and delivery can easily induce hydrosalpinx, which can easily lead to adnexal infection after childbirth, miscarriage or menstruation. Therefore, it is very necessary for female friends to understand this disease and take preventive or treatment measures as early as possible. Knowing the symptoms of hydrosalpinx in time can allow you to detect it in time and get treatment as early as possible.

Symptoms of hydrosalpinx

1. Increased vaginal discharge: Many patients with hydrosalpinx show increased vaginal discharge, watery leucorrhea, etc. This is because when hydrosalpinx occurs, the lumens of the dilated and undilated parts of the fallopian tube are still connected, so patients often have intermittent vaginal discharge. Patients should pay attention to it.

2. Lumbar pain: Due to the stimulation of inflammation, patients will experience lumbar pain. But the degree varies, some are serious and some are mild. The more serious the disease, the more obvious the pain will be.

3. Severe patients have fever: Most patients with fallopian tube obstruction have symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, such as pain on one or both sides of the lower abdomen, prolapse, excessive secretions, low back pain, etc. Some patients may have no obvious clinical symptoms, and the disease is often discovered only when they go to the hospital for examination due to infertility for many years after marriage.

Diagnosis of Hydrosalpinx

1. Ultrasound examination

When the hydrosalpinx reaches a certain extent, it can be shown under ultrasound. When women have tubal inflammation, it is easy to cause blockage of the fimbria of the fallopian tube, and the inflammatory exudate will accumulate in the lumen of the fallopian tube, making the part with hydrosalpinx visible under ultrasound. Abnormal echoes appear on one or both sides of the uterus. The fallopian tubes are thickened, some are sausage-like, and the lumen is low-echo or dot-like.

2. Laparoscopy

Fallopian tube laparoscopy can directly diagnose hydrosalpinx. Under the laparoscopy, the adhesions between the fimbria and the surrounding area can be seen to determine the function of the fallopian tube. Laparoscopic examination and diagnosis is very accurate and is currently the most advanced diagnostic technology in gynecological examinations.

Although hydrosalpinx is a common gynecological disease, it is not unavoidable. Therefore, you must pay attention to personal hygiene, especially during menstruation. If you need to undergo intrauterine surgery, you should strictly disinfect it to avoid bringing bacteria into the vagina and uterus through the surgery and causing artificial infection. Women who have just given birth should take good care of their bodies to effectively avoid these diseases.
