Treatment of unilateral hydrosalpinx

Hydrosalpinx is a common type of chronic hydrosalpinx. At the beginning, patients will definitely feel some pain in their abdomen from time to time, but most patients with hydrosalpinx do not have any symptoms, so it is difficult to detect. It is mainly caused by artificial abortion. Let us learn about the treatment of unilateral hydrosalpinx.

An experienced fallopian tube specialist should make a correct assessment of the degree of damage to the egg-collecting function of the fallopian tube fimbria based on the salpingography films, the patient's medical history and relevant medical information. Director Yuan Weiqing pointed out that if the fimbria has a high possibility of recovering function after salpingostomy, surgical treatment can be adopted. Surgical treatment can be divided into open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. However, the pregnancy rate after surgery is limited, about 20%. If the function of the fallopian tube fimbria has been irreversibly damaged, in vitro fertilization (IVF) is the only option. However, since blockage of the fallopian tube fimbria is often accompanied by hydrosalpinx, the hydrosalpinx will flow back into the uterine cavity and have a series of effects on the embryo, which can reduce the success rate of IVF by 50% and double the miscarriage rate. Therefore, if there is hydrosalpinx and IVF is required, X-ray memory alloy embolization of the fallopian tube is required before IVF treatment to avoid the impact of hydrosalpinx on IVF. For details, please refer to the Fallopian Tube Occlusion column of the Chinese Fallopian Tube Professional Network.

Memory alloy for the treatment of hydrosalpinx

Interventional treatment of fallopian tube embolization is a new method for treating hydrosalpinx, which avoids the pain of surgery and the impact on ovarian function. During the IVF treatment cycle, the fertilization rate, cleavage rate and other indicators are similar to those of patients with proximal fallopian tube obstruction without hydrops.

In summary, interventional treatment of fallopian tube occlusion is an innovative and effective method for the treatment of hydrosalpinx. Compared with the conventional methods currently used in clinical practice, its advantages are as follows:

1. Use mechanical methods to embolize the proximal end of the fallopian tube. This is a mechanical embolization and will not affect the intrauterine environment.

2. It avoids a series of pain, injury, risks and complications caused by open surgery and laparoscopic surgery;

3. The operation is performed under direct vision of an X-ray machine. The operator and the patient's family can clearly see the whole process. It is easy to operate, less painful, minimally invasive, does not require anesthesia or only requires local anesthesia, so its risk is low. The patient is awake during the operation, the success rate of the operation is high, it is economical, and has no effect on ovarian function. The operation can be completed in 20 minutes, and the patient can leave after treatment without hospitalization.

4. The pregnancy rate of test-tube babies after this operation is significantly increased, and the occurrence of tubal pregnancy is avoided;

5. The endocrine environment of the endometrium can be restored after surgery.

This technology overcomes the shortcomings of surgical treatment. The fallopian tube memory alloy embolization surgery carried out by Minquan County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Shangqiu City, Henan Province has well filled the gap in the application of interventional treatment in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF treatment) and is a new breakthrough in the development of IVF.

In the article, we have learned about the treatment of unilateral hydrosalpinx, so it is best to rest in bed during the onset of the disease, and you can eat some light porridge and the like. It is best not to get an artificial abortion after an unexpected pregnancy, as that will have many sequelae.
