Can enema treat hydrosalpinx?

The fallopian tube is a very important part of the female body. Once there is a problem or safety hazard, it will directly affect normal fertility. So can enema treat hydrosalpinx? Although enema therapy is frequently used and can be used to treat many diseases with good results, when treating the problem of hydrosalpinx, specific analysis of specific circumstances is still required.

Enema therapy is a method of treating diseases by enema with Chinese medicine liquid or powder. Enema therapy has an early origin. As early as the Han Dynasty, there were records of using pig bile enema to treat constipation in Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Febrile Diseases". Hydrosalpinx is mostly caused by childbirth, miscarriage, unclean sexual intercourse, lack of attention to menstrual hygiene, and inflammation after gynecological surgery. The most common symptom of hydrosalpinx is infertility. The examination methods include: salpingography, laparoscopy, etc.

1. Hysterosalpingography: This is the most reliable method to diagnose hydrosalpinx. The X-ray manifestation of hydrosalpinx is that the entire fallopian tube is visualized, the fimbria will be obviously dilated with fluid, and there will be no or some contrast agent diffusing from the fimbria to the pelvic cavity. It can also be examined through laparoscopy. Under laparoscopy, thickening and swelling of the fallopian tube can be seen in the stage of acute salpingitis and fallopian tube pyosalpingitis, and closure of the fimbria of the fallopian tube can be seen in the later stage.

2. Laparoscopy can directly diagnose hydrosalpinx. Under laparoscopy, the adhesions between the fimbria and the surrounding area can be seen to determine the function of the fallopian tube. However, since laparoscopy is an invasive examination and expensive, it is generally not used as the first choice and is mostly used for treatment after angiography diagnosis. Laparoscopic salpingostomy surgery first fully frees the adhesions between the fallopian tube and other tissues.

Hydrosalpinx is caused by chronic pelvic inflammation. It is best treated with effective Chinese and Western medicine. Enema treatment can be used as an auxiliary therapy. The effect of this treatment alone is poor. Repeated treatment should be performed according to the condition and doctor's instructions. Since the administration route of this therapy is through local action or absorption of the intestinal mucosa, its scope of application is limited to a certain extent.

I believe everyone is clear about whether enema can treat hydrosalpinx. It can be said that enema is indeed a common method for treating hydrosalpinx. However, due to the different physical conditions of each person, the degree of hydrosalpinx and the condition of the fallopian tubes are different. The specific method to be used for treatment should be determined by the doctor.
