As pelvic inflammatory disease is the major cause of hydrosalpinx formation, steps to reduce sexually transmitted infection will reduce incidence of hydrosalpinx. Also, as hydrosalpinx is a sequel to a pelvic infection, adequate and early antibiotic treatment of a pelvic infection is called for.
Treatment of fallopian tube obstruction has traditionally been treated with fallopian tubal surgery with a goal of restoring patency to the tubes and thus possibly normal function. A common modern day method of treatment is in vitro fertilization as it is more cost-effective, less invasive, and results are immediate.
Other indications for a salpingectomy include infected tubes (as in a hydrosalpinx) or as part of the surgical procedure for tubal cancer. [citation needed] A bilateral salpingectomy will lead to sterility, and was used for that purpose; however, less invasive, possibly reversible procedures have become available as tubal occlusion procedures.
Clinical symptoms determine the best course of treatment for peritoneal inclusion cysts. [9] When a patient is asymptomatic, ultrasonographic surveillance is recommended. [10] For chronic cysts, aspiration or drainage is a safe, less invasive treatment option. [9]
Hydrosalpinx treatment increases the likelihood of pregnancy, regardless of the treatment modality used. Salpingectomy has been associated with higher rates of clinical pregnancies, implantations and IVF live births, versus other hydrosalpinx treatments.
Approximately one in fourteen untreated Chlamydia infections will result in salpingitis. [5]Over one million cases of acute salpingitis are reported every year in the US, but the number of incidents is probably larger, due to incomplete and untimely reporting methods and that many cases are reported first when the illness has gone so far that it has developed chronic complications.
Hematosalpinx; Laparoscopic view, looking from superiorly to inferiorly in the peritoneal cavity which has been pumped up with carbon dioxide gas to visualize the uterus (marked by blue arrows).
Hydrosalpinx is the most frequent. This happens when there is a presence of fluid on the tubes. ... Many women have reported finding treatment for infertility ...
