Are hydrosalpinx and pelvic effusion the same thing?

Hydrosalpinx and pelvic effusion are two different diseases. They are not the same thing. First of all, their clinical manifestations are different, and secondly, their causes are also different. Of course, the common point is that it causes great harm to the female reproductive system, which is also an important cause of female infertility. When this happens, the cause should be identified and good treatment should be carried out in time.

Are hydrosalpinx and pelvic effusion the same thing?

Hydrosalpinx and pelvic effusion are not the same thing. Chronic inflammation can lead to hydrosalpinx. It is recommended to treat the primary disease in order to further clarify the diagnosis, take timely treatment measures, and relieve discomfort symptoms. Hydrosalpinx and pelvic effusion are usually caused by inflammation, adhesion of the fimbria of an acid tube, and blockage of the lumen.

Clinical manifestations

1. Feeling of falling, pain in the lower abdomen and lumbar sacral region

The main symptoms are a feeling of heaviness and pain in the lower abdomen on one or both sides. Scar adhesions and pelvic congestion caused by chronic inflammation lead to lower abdominal distension, pain, and lumbar and sacral soreness.

2. Decreased immunity

The systemic symptoms of pelvic effusion are mostly not obvious, and sometimes there may be low fever and fatigue. Some patients with a long course of illness may have symptoms of neurasthenia, such as lack of energy, general discomfort, insomnia, etc. When the patient's resistance is poor, acute or subacute attacks are likely to occur.

3. Menstrual disorders

Patients with concurrent pelvic congestion may have increased menstruation; when ovarian function is damaged, there may be menstrual disorders; when the fallopian tubes are blocked by adhesions, it may cause female infertility.

4. Infertility

If pelvic inflammatory disease causes blockage of the fallopian tubes, infertility will occur. Clinical examination will reveal that the patient's uterus is retroverted, uterine activity is restricted, or adhesions have occurred.
