A\u00a0Hydrosalpinx\u00a0is a distally blocked\u00a0fallopian tube\u00a0filled with\u00a0serous\u00a0or filled with a watery, clear liquid. The blocked tube may become substantially distended giving the tube a characteristic sausage-like or retort-like shape.The condition usually affects both fallopian tubes.<\/p>\n
In most cases of hydrosalpinx, only the fimbrial end (the end closest to the ovary) of the tube is sealed bilateral and the affected tubes may reach several centimeters in diameter. Off in rare cases, both ends may be sealed. The blocked tubes cause tubal-factor infertility.<\/p>\n
The major cause behind Hydrosalpinx is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), it usually occurs due to an ascending infection caused by\u00a0Chlamydia\u00a0or\u00a0gonorrhea. However, not all pelvic infections will cause distal tubal occlusion.These infections usually affect both fallopian tubes, and although a hydrosalpinx can be one-sided, the other tube on the opposite side is often abnormal.<\/p>\n
Even though there may not be a common toxic factor in all fluids, the presence of factors inhibitory to embryo development in fluids from certain individuals cannot be excluded. Most experiments are based on small numbers of hydrosalpinx fluids, and individual variations in content may reflect the differences in embryo development.<\/p>\n
As mentioned earlier, hydrosalpinx can reduce the success rate of fertility treatment, namely IVF in this context. There is research evidence to suggest that removal of hydrosalpinx before IVF, significantly improve the success rates of IVF and therefore this is recommended to optimize the chances of success after IVF. The rationale for treatments to improve the results of in-vitro fertilization is based on interruption of the leakage of hydrosalpinx fluid into the uterine cavity. This in turn, reduces significantly, the chances of an ectopic pregnancy.<\/p>\n
HART treatment protocol not only helps in the permanent treatment of Hydrosalphix but also facilitate natural conceiving. We also get a lot of patients who have already planned an IVF cycle and would like higher chances of success in the IVF cycle.<\/p>\n
