How does hydrosalpinx affect pregnancy?
In most cases, hydrosalpinx and pregnancy are two incompatible things. Due to the fact that the lumen of the fallopian tubes becomes completely closed, the fertilized egg can not enter the uterine cavity. That is why, with such pathology, cases of occurrence of an ectopic pregnancy that requires urgent medical care are not uncommon.
Can I get pregnant with a hydrosalpinx?
The main question that women ask when faced with such a disease: what is the probability of becoming pregnant with a hydrosalpinx? So, according to statistics, with a mild degree of changes in the fallopian tubes, after restoring their patency by surgical means, pregnancy can occur in 60-77% of cases. The probability of developing an ectopic pregnancy is only 2-5%.
In cases where the pathology is sufficiently pronounced and changes in the fallopian tubes are visible with ultrasound, in addition, changes are observed in the febrile part of one or both tubes, even after surgical treatment of the hydrosalpinx, the probability of pregnancy does not exceed 5%.
Many women think about whether it is possible to become pregnant with hydrosalpinx, if pathology affects only 1 fallopian tube. In such situations, the probability of conception of the baby increases and is about 30-40%. However, before you get pregnant with the available hydrosalpinx, you should definitely consult a doctor about this. Moreover, if a woman with this pathology has a pregnancy, it is necessary as soon as possible to turn to a gynecologist for ultrasound and exclusion of ectopic pregnancy.
