Causes of Infertility: A Deep Dive into Fallopian Tube Issues

不孕原因:輸卵管問題大解析

Hydrosalpinx occurs when the end of the fallopian tube becomes blocked, causing fluid buildup and swelling, often due to pelvic infection, inflammation, or adhesions. It is a significant cause of female infertility, with high-risk groups including women with endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, previous uterine infections, chlamydia, or inflammation from IUD use. Symptoms are usually absent, though prolonged bleeding after menstruation may occur. Diagnosis typically begins with hysterosalpingography (HSG) and may be confirmed via laparoscopy. Hydrosalpinx prevents sperm and egg from meeting and can negatively impact embryo implantation, reducing both natural and IVF success rates. Surgical removal or blockage of the affected tube before IVF is recommended to improve pregnancy chances.
