Hydrosalphnix after partial hysterectomy

[sophia71]

i am 38 this year. I had a partial hysterectomy done 6  years ago due to PPH. My ovaries and fallopian are intact. However, my recent check up shows i have Hydrosalpnix. Is it necessary to go for any surgery to hv the blocked tube "fixed". or should i just leave it alone? will it develop into sometimes dangerous? If possible, i would rather go without surgery. I am scared to undergo any surgery or GA :(

Hi Cherie
Thanks for your comment.
I do not have any pain. My gynae has arranged for me to do a scan 2months later and to get a second opinion after the scan, after which to see her again. I think i'll just have to wait two months and see what happens after the scan. Hope i dont think too much about it for now :(

Thanks again, Cherie

Hi, Sophia and welcomeh, let me start by a brief explanation on your condition. hydrosalpinx is a collection of watery fluid within the fallopian tube, usually as a result of damage at the distal (far) end of the tube, near the ovary. a hydrosalpinx indicates that the fallopian tube is totally blocked at the far end. This condition may form as the result of a prior infection (e.g. chlamydia or other sexually transmitted disease) within the pelvic region. Abortion, intrauterine devices (IUD), endometriosis, abdominal surgery( ie hysterectomy).
I honestly dont think it would be in your best interest for me to hypothsis as to what could happen. It could go along just fine for you, or it could be very very serious  if your tube or ovary should rupture.
I really do understand your anxiety no one wants to have a surgery, I do think if you decide you must have a surgery for this it could likely be done in a laproscopic, with minimum invasion.
Your condition is one where honestly if I was you I would get two opinions. Its best when getting the second opinion to not let dr know he is your second 'opion" this decreases his chance of just agreeing w first dr for convience sake.
Are you in pain from this? If yes you need to factor that into decision.

big hugs, Cherie .
