Can hydrosalpinx in the fallopian tube be cured?

Hydrosalpinx is a common disease. Hydrosalpinx is mostly caused by inflammation or bacterial infection. It is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations and treatments in time. Different causes and treatments are different. Hydrosalpinx needs to be treated in time. The earlier the treatment, the better for your health. Hydrosalpinx can cause infertility in women. Can hydrosalpinx be cured?

Can hydrosalpinx be cured?

Regarding the treatment of hydrosalpinx, some women feel uncomfortable with hydrosalpinx and want to give up in a short period of time and turn to drug treatment. So how effective is drug treatment?

When both sides of the fallopian tubes are blocked, the therapeutic effect of drugs is limited. Although inflammation is the cause of fallopian tube obstruction, the direct cause of infertility is the mechanical adhesion blockage of the tube cavity. At this time, the inflammation is no longer obvious. Even if oral antibiotics can reduce inflammation, it is difficult to remove adhesions.

Some people really get pregnant by taking medicine, which may be a coincidence, because the compensatory function of the fallopian tube itself is very strong. Some women's fallopian tubes are not completely blocked; some are blocked on one side and the other side is intact; and some people have one side of the fallopian tube removed due to ectopic pregnancy. As long as one side is intact, this cannot be the main cause of infertility.

In addition, these women may not become pregnant due to other reasons that have not been noticed or discovered by doctors, such as some ovulation disorders, which can help them become pregnant by taking some ovulation-stimulating drugs. If examination shows that the infertility is mainly caused by fallopian tube obstruction, relying solely on medication will easily delay the condition. You may consider undergoing fallopian tube hydrotubation (commonly known as hydrotubation) treatment first.

The liquid used for hydrotubation contains some drugs that can play an anti-inflammatory role. More importantly, hydrotubation can separate adhesions of fallopian tubes through mechanical expansion, which is impossible to achieve with oral medication alone.

Why does hydrosalpinx easily lead to infertility?

Hydrosalpinx is caused by obstruction of the fimbria of the fallopian tube, which is caused by inflammation of the fallopian tube caused by pathogen infection. Due to bacterial infection, infiltration of white blood cells causes endometrial swelling, interstitial edema, exudation, and shedding of the fallopian tube mucosal epithelium.

Due to the proliferation of surrounding fibrous tissue and the organization of granulation tissue, the mucosa or the fimbria adheres, resulting in obstruction of the fallopian tube. When the fimbria adheres, obstruction of the fimbria is formed.

Common causes of hydrosalpinx obstruction

Artificial abortion, spontaneous abortion, medical abortion, induced labor, unclean sexual intercourse, pelvic infection, etc. can cause adhesion, congestion, edema and blockage of the fallopian tube wall, resulting in the inability of sperm and egg to combine, and ultimately leading to infertility.

Clinical manifestations of hydrosalpinx

Patients often have a history of abdominal pain during the acute stage of fallopian tube inflammation. Generally, after the fallopian tube pus turns into serous, that is, hydrosalpinx, or the water is absorbed by the body, the inflammation is often cured long ago. Therefore, patients with hydrosalpinx usually do not have abdominal pain symptoms. Because when hydrosalpinx occurs, the lumens of the dilated and non-dilated parts of the fallopian tube are still connected, patients often have intermittent vaginal discharge, and infertility is often the only manifestation of hydrosalpinx.
