Chances of Pregnancy?

Posted By B on March 31, 1999 at 10:28:45:







I recently experienced hospitalization for possible diagnosis of
diverticulitis (I'm aged 36).  A gynecologist feels that I have acquired
hydrosalpinx (left side) as a result of the primary infection.  Are my
chances of becoming pregnant diminished?  The right fallopian tube was not
affected.  I continue to experience pain on the left side and fever
(despite continued antibiotics - Flagyl & Cipro), and am scheduled for
further testing to confirm diagnosis.
Also, I will be undergoing a spinal laminectomy, decompression & fusion
(L5-S1) in a couple of months.  After a fusion, could I still have an
epidural (if I can get pregnant)?
Thank you for your time and assistance!
