Is Hydrosalpinx Associated with Infection? Five pathogenic factors need to be vigilant

The appearance of hydrosalpinx has brought special troubles to many women. That is a common gynecological disease, but it also poses a serious threat to women. It is necessary to clarify the cause and pay attention to prevention.

The causes of hydrosalpinx

1. Abortion: Abortion includes artificial abortion, natural abortion, drug flow, induced abortion, etc. After abortion, the resistance decreases, and pathogens spread to the fallopian tubes and ovaries in the reproductive tract, causing inflammation of the entire pelvis and fallopian tubes. Adhesion, congestion, swelling and blockage of the fallopian tube wall. Due to incomplete or untimely treatment of acute salpingitis, it can lead to adhesion of the fallopian tube mucosa. It can also be caused by incomplete miscarriage or residual placenta, and some individuals with intrauterine devices may develop chronic salpingitis. Long term inflammatory stimulation can cause the fallopian tubes to thicken, harden, adhere to and narrow the lumen, and cause adhesions at different positions of the fallopian tubes, resulting in hydrosalpinx.

2. Unclean sexual intercourse: Excessive sexual activity or menstrual intercourse, infection causing salpingitis and fluid accumulation in the fallopian tubes.

3. Pelvic infection: Improper abortion and delivery, attachment (pelvic) infection after delivery or miscarriage or menstruation, adhesion blockage, accumulation of mucosal cell secretion in the lumen, inflammation of the fallopian tubes, adhesion of the isthmus and fimbria, leakage and accumulation of exudate in the fallopian tube cavity

4. Chronic salpingitis: When chronic salpingitis occurs, the fimbriated end of the fallopian tube is closed due to inflammation and adhesion, and the leakage and exudate inside the fallopian tube gradually accumulate water. When chronic hydrosalpinx occurs, the fallopian tube swells, but the fimbriae end of the fallopian tube is partially or completely closed, adhesion to surrounding tissues, scar adhesion, and distortion of the fallopian tube, narrowing or sealing of the lumen, hydrosalpinx and pus, pelvic congestion or pelvic fluid or pus. Pathological changes can also affect the operation of fertilization and fertilized eggs, leading to infertility.

5. Changes in pyogenic fluid in the fallopian tubes: After the pus cells and necrotic tissue in the original lumen decompose, they are removed by phagocytes, and the pus gradually turns into a bright water like fluid. Some hydrosalpinx is not caused by inflammation of the fallopian tubes, but rather secondary to tubal sterilization.

Harm of hydrosalpinx

1. Hydrosalpinx affects embryo implantation: The toxic substances of hydrosalpinx flow into the uterine cavity during embryo transfer, producing toxic effects on embryos transferred into the uterine cavity, affecting their development, reducing their implantation ability, lowering embryo implantation and pregnancy rates, and increasing miscarriage rates..
