Would Fluid Filled Fallopian Tube With Swelling Cause Complications In Conceiving?
Question: hi, i only have one fallopian tube left but was told its got fluid in it and is swollen. Is there still any possibility i can still get pregnant and naturally
Brief Answer:
Hydrosalpinx should be treated first
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Presence of a single fallopian tube along with the fluid in its lumen is medically called as hydrosalpinx.
The probability of a successful conception with this disordered tube is extremely low.
I sincerely advice you to get this hydrosalpinx treated first before planning for pregnancy.
It is advisable to get an ultrasound abdomen to find out the cause of hydrosalpinx and to treat accordingly
consultation with a gynecologist is mandatory to proceed with the therapeutic protocol
Post your further queries if any
thank you
