A member asked:

Pain r/t hydrosalpinx: is surgery the only option? will it fix the problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hydrosalpinx: The only treatment for a long standing hydrosalpinx is surgical resection. The longer the condition has exsisted the more likely that the tubal mucosa are damaged and the fallopian tube even if opened surgically will not transport an egg!
