Hydrosalpinx on the right. The causes of its occurrence, diagnosis and treatment

Among the diseases that prevent normal pregnancy, there is a hydrosalpinx, either on the right or on the left. Unfortunately, this is a fairly common disease, and it concerns the female genital organs. Its main manifestation is the accumulation of a transparent or yellowish liquid in the fallopian tubes. In a normal state, such a liquid is also produced by the body of a woman, but it is timely excreted through the walls of the tubes.

Why does it arise?

The main reason for this disease doctors in one voice called inflammatory processes, in particular, adnexitis, salpingoophoritis, salpingitis. They contribute to the death of villi, functional disorders of the muscular part, as well as the proliferation of connective tissue, which in turn leads to the formation of adhesions, scars and obstruction of the tubes. The transudate (liquid) can not be excreted normally, and therefore poured out into the uterine cavity. The greatest threat to the left-sided or right-sided hydrosalpinks lies with women planning a child (after all, the coveted child is incredibly difficult to conceive) and already pregnant, since the disease adversely affects fetal development and virtually eliminates births naturally.

Varieties

According to the activity and duration of the inflammatory process, two forms of the disease course are distinguished:

1. Acute (characterized by fever, tachycardia, weakness).
2. Chronic. It usually does not have clear symptoms, because the liquid is recruited for a long period.

Depending on the location, it is common to distinguish the hydrosalpinx from the right and left. The state of the uterine tube allows to establish a simple form (when there is one cavity) and follicular (when the lumen is divided into several cavities). As a rule, when diagnosed, doctors indicate the size of the hydrosalpinx on the right (left).

Symptoms

As it was said above, the disease can not be manifested in any way, or it gives itself out by such symptoms as:

• Elevated temperature (from 37 ° C to 39 ° C);
• weakness;
• Pain in the pelvic and inguinal areas;
• cardiopalmus;
• blush;
• Water discharge (but only with the so-called "valve" form).

Diagnostics

Only an experienced doctor can immediately detect hydrosalpinx. The diagnosis can be finally established after a number of studies. So, first of all, a standard gynecological examination is performed , during which it is possible to suspect education. Then the patient is sent for ultrasound. Modern machines can detect this disease quickly enough. Hydrosalpinx on the right or left can be diagnosed with hysterosalpingography (i.e., X-ray) or laparoscopy (a procedure that involves the introduction of special instruments for examination in the uterus).

Treatment

The most effective way to overcome hydrosalpinx right or left is surgery. In this case it is called laparoscopy. Basically, this procedure is tolerated by patients quite easily. Without surgery, you can get by, but only when the disease is not running. In this case, all efforts should be aimed at overcoming the inflammatory process (in this regard, antibiotic and physiotherapeutic procedures are prescribed), as well as improving the functioning of the immune system (for this purpose the patient also undergoes vitamin therapy and phytotherapy).
