Hydrosalpinx: A Silent Cause of Infertility
Did you know that hydrosalpinx, or fluid-filled fallopian tubes, is a common but often silent cause of infertility? This condition occurs when one or both fallopian tubes become blocked and fill with fluid, preventing the egg from reaching the uterus. Studies show that hydrosalpinx is present in up to 30% of women dealing with tubal infertility. Because it can go unnoticed without symptoms, many women remain unaware until they face challenges with conception.
Why Early Detection Matters
Detecting and treating hydrosalpinx early can make a significant difference. Left untreated, it not only affects fertility but can also lower the success rates of in vitro fertilization (IVF) by reducing the implantation rate. A routine gynecological exam, along with specialized imaging tests, can help detect hydrosalpinx, providing patients with early intervention options to improve fertility outcomes.
Treatment Options
Options like laparoscopic surgery or selective tubal occlusion are available to manage hydrosalpinx and improve chances of conception. At Complete Women’s Care, we’re here to help guide you through diagnosis and discuss the best treatment options.
