Can hydrosalpinx affect pregnancy?

Hydrosalpinx can interfere with pregnancy. The fallopian tube is an important part of the female reproductive system, its main function is to transport eggs and sperm to meet the place, but also the fertilized egg to move into the uterine cavity channel. When there is water in the fallopian tube, it means that this passage may be obstructed, thus affecting the normal transport of eggs and the fertilization process.

The formation of hydrosalpinx is related to many factors, such as inflammatory diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease and salpingitis, as well as endometriosis and fallopian tube adhesion. These diseases can cause the wall of the fallopian tube to become congested, edema, adhesion, and then cause the fallopian tube lumen to narrow or block, so that the fluid in the fallopian tube can not be drained normally, forming water.

The impact of hydrosalpinx on pregnancy is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1, hinder egg transport: Hydrosalpinx may hinder the normal transport of eggs, so that eggs can not meet sperm, resulting in infertility.

2, affect fertilized egg implantation: even if the egg and sperm combine to form a fertilized egg, hydrosalpinx may affect the implantation of the fertilized egg in the uterus, resulting in miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.

3, increase the risk of infection: Hydrosalpinx is often accompanied by inflammation, which may further spread to the uterine cavity, increasing the risk of uterine infection, thus affecting the normal development of the embryo.

Do I need a tube for hydrosalpinx?

1, mild hydrops and age appropriate: for young patients with mild hydrops of the fallopian tube, you can try to achieve fertility through natural conception. By actively treating the primary disease and adjusting lifestyle habits, you can sometimes have a successful pregnancy.

2, severe hydrops or older age: For patients with severe hydrosalpinx, older age or who have tried to conceive naturally but have not been successful, IVF technology may be a better choice. With IVF, doctors can implant the fertilized egg directly into the uterine cavity, avoiding hydrosalpinx affecting the pregnancy process.

In order to prevent hydrosalpinx, women need to pay attention to the following points:

1, maintain good living habits: pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid overwork, maintain good work and rest habits.

2, actively treat gynecological diseases: such as pelvic inflammatory disease, salpingitis and other inflammatory diseases, need timely medical treatment to avoid deterioration of the condition.

3, regular physical examination: regular gynecological examination, understand their own physical condition, timely detection and treatment of potential problems.

Hydrosalpinx has a certain impact on pregnancy, but it is not an insurmountable obstacle. By actively treating the primary disease and adjusting lifestyle habits, you can sometimes have a successful pregnancy. For patients with severe hydrosalpinx or who are older, fertility can be considered through IVF technology. However, it is important to note that IVF is not a panacea, and patients need to make informed decisions based on their own circumstances.
