What is Hydrosalpinx? Fallopian tube occupies an important position in female reproduction and is a bridge to establish gestation. It has the functions of collecting eggs, transporting sperm, transporting fertilized eggs and so on.

It plays an important role in the survival and development of early embryos and is the basis of successful gestation. Hydrosalpinx refers to the accumulation of cell secretion or pus due to the closure and adhesion of the fallopian tube or the isthmus and fimbria of the fallopian tube, which is finally presented in the form of liquid, which is called "hydrosalpinx".

Hydrosalpinx is harmful and may induce ectopic pregnancy, endometrial damage and even infertility.

How is hydrosalpinx caused?

1. Adhesion of mucosa on the wall of fallopian tube. It is mainly caused by chronic tubal inflammation. Hydrosalpinx is one of the consequences of chronic tubal inflammation. The wall of fallopian tube is composed of mucosa, muscle and serosa from inside to outside.

Inflammation of the fallopian tube is caused by pathogen infection, under the interference of inflammatory cells, the mucosal epithelium of the wall of the fallopian tube falls off and forms adhesion and atresia. The secretion of mucosal cells will accumulate in the lumen of the fallopian tube, resulting in Hydrosalpinx.

2. Adhesion of isthmus and fimbria. After the obstruction of the fimbria of the fallopian tube, the pyogenic cells in the lumen are absorbed, and eventually become water-like liquid. Some of the liquid is absorbed, leaving an empty shell, which can be seen as hydrops during the angiography.

3. Other external factors lead to hydrops. Such as long-term tubal ligation, post-operative Hydrosalpinx, and effusion caused by induced abortion, drug abortion, induced labor, unclean sexual intercourse and other activities.

Mainly to promote blood circulation, conducive to the alleviation and elimination of inflammation, the third one is to carry out surgical treatment.
