Hydrosalpinx is a significant yet often overlooked cause of female infertility. It affects the fallopian tubes and can drastically reduce the success rates of IVF if not treated correctly. At Gold Medica IVF, Bathinda, Dr Preeti Jindal offers specialized treatment options for Hydrosalpinx to improve fertility outcomes and increase your chances of achieving a successful pregnancy.

What Is Hydrosalpinx?

Hydrosalpinx is a condition where one or both fallopian tubes become blocked and filled with fluid, often due to infection, inflammation, or previous pelvic surgery. The name comes from Greek, where “hydro” means water and “salpinx” means tube. This fluid accumulation prevents normal egg transport and may also leak into the uterus, creating a toxic environment for embryo implantation.

Causes of Hydrosalpinx

Several underlying causes may lead to the development of Hydrosalpinx:

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as chlamydia or gonorrhea

Tuberculosis of the pelvis (still common in parts of India)

Previous abdominal or pelvic surgeries

Endometriosis

Ruptured appendix or peritonitis

Dr Preeti Jindal emphasizes early diagnosis and targeted treatment to prevent long-term damage and restore fertility potential.

Symptoms of Hydrosalpinx

Hydrosalpinx may be asymptomatic in many women, making it difficult to detect without medical investigation. However, some women may experience:

Chronic pelvic pain

Abnormal vaginal discharge

Painful periods

Difficulty conceiving

Recurrent IVF failures

Since the symptoms are subtle or absent, it’s essential to consult an experienced fertility specialist like Dr Preeti Jindal at Gold Medica IVF for proper evaluation.

How Hydrosalpinx Affects Fertility

The presence of Hydrosalpinx is particularly concerning for fertility, especially when planning IVF treatment:

Blocked fallopian tubes prevent the sperm from reaching the egg.

The fluid inside the tube is toxic to embryos.

The fluid may leak into the uterus, disrupting embryo implantation.

Inflammation and infection reduce overall reproductive health.

Studies show that IVF success rates are reduced by 50% when Hydrosalpinx is present and untreated. That’s why Dr Preeti Jindal includes Hydrosalpinx screening as a routine step before IVF cycles at Gold Medica IVF in Bathinda.

Diagnosis of Hydrosalpinx

At Gold Medica IVF, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to identify Hydrosalpinx with precision:

Transvaginal Ultrasound: May show dilated, fluid-filled tubes.

Hysterosalpingography (HSG): An X-ray test that checks tubal patency and structure.

Sonohysterography (SIS): Uses saline to assess the uterine and tubal anatomy.

Laparoscopy: A minimally invasive surgical technique that provides direct visualization of pelvic organs.

Dr Preeti Jindal personally evaluates each patient’s reports to determine the presence and severity of Hydrosalpinx and design an individualized treatment approach.

Treatment Options for Hydrosalpinx at Gold Medica IVF

There are multiple treatment paths for Hydrosalpinx depending on severity, fertility goals, and overall reproductive health:

1. Surgical Removal of the Tube (Salpingectomy)

This is the most common and effective treatment before IVF. The affected fallopian tube(s) are surgically removed via laparoscopy, eliminating the toxic fluid and increasing the chances of embryo implantation.

2. Tubal Ligation (Clipping the Tube)

If complete removal isn’t possible, the damaged tube can be clipped or blocked near the uterus to prevent fluid leakage during IVF.

3. Tubal Repair (Salpingostomy)

In selected cases with mild damage, opening the tube surgically may restore natural fertility. However, this option is less commonly preferred if IVF is the primary goal.

4. Drainage with Ultrasound Guidance

A temporary option to improve IVF outcomes if surgery is not possible. Not widely used due to risk of recurrence.

At Gold Medica IVF, all surgical options are performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques for faster recovery and minimal discomfort.

IVF After Treating Hydrosalpinx

Many patients come to Gold Medica IVF in Bathinda after failed IVF attempts elsewhere—only to discover Hydrosalpinx was missed. Once diagnosed and treated, your body becomes far more receptive to embryo transfer.

Benefits of treating Hydrosalpinx before IVF:

Increased IVF success rates

Reduced chances of miscarriage

Better embryo implantation

Healthier pregnancy outcomes
