Fluid accumulation in the fallopian tube

The fallopian tube is an important reproductive organ for women. If there are certain problems with the fallopian tube, it will directly affect the female's fertility. For example, if there is fluid accumulation in the fallopian tube, it will cause blockage of the fallopian tube, resulting in female infertility, ectopic pregnancy, damage to the health of the uterine cavity and other problems. Here I will introduce to you the adverse consequences of fluid accumulation in the fallopian tubes!

1. Adverse effects on the uterine cavity

① It can cause hydrosalpinx in the uterine cavity, which can mechanically interfere with the contact between the embryo and the endometrium. During ovulation, the hydrosalpinx in the fallopian tube may increase, and the amount of fluid flowing into the uterine cavity will increase accordingly, causing adverse effects on the uterine cavity.

② Hydrosalpinx contains microorganisms, debris and toxic substances that can directly enter the uterine cavity. The presence of hydrosalpinx causes the tissue to release cytokines, prostaglandins, leukocyte chemotactic factors and other inflammatory complexes, which act on the endometrium directly or through blood and lymphatic transport. These substances are involved in regulating the movement of the fallopian tube and uterus and affect embryo implantation. In addition, the level of endometrial β-integrin decreases during the implantation window in patients with hydrosalpinx, which can also affect endometrial receptivity.

③ Hydrosalpinx is often caused by infection, and most of the time it is an ascending infection, which causes damage to the endometrium and leaves a permanent impact on the receptivity of embryo implantation.

2. Toxic effects of hydrosalpinx on embryos

Hydrosalpinx can affect the formation of the embryo and block embryo development. Toxic substances from hydrosalpinx flow into the uterine cavity during embryo transfer, producing a toxic effect on the embryo in the uterine cavity, affecting its development, reducing its implantation ability, lowering the embryo implantation rate and pregnancy rate, and increasing the miscarriage rate.

3. Hydrosalpinx can induce ectopic pregnancy

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. Hydrosalpinx is a serious disease. If you fail to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, blind pregnancy may lead to ectopic pregnancy, which will have a great impact on your body.

4. Infertility

The normal function of the fallopian tube plays an extremely important role in conception. It can capture the mature eggs released from the ovaries to the abdominal cavity and provide a channel for sperm to ascend, so that the sperm meets the egg in the ampulla of the fallopian tube and fertilizes it. If water accumulates in the fallopian tubes, sperm cannot reach the point where they meet the egg, resulting in infertility.
