  1. Hydrosalpinx and infertility Anyone with hydrosalpinx should seek professional advice for planning apregnancy. During conception, the egg travels from an ovary along the fallopian tube to the uterus. Hydrosalpinx causes the fallopian tube to become blocked with fluid, so the egg cannot pass down the tube, Also, the fimbria that help to draw the egg from the ovary into the tubes can become stuck together. If only one fallopian tube is blocked, it is still possible to conceive without intervention, as eggs from the other ovary will still be able to make it to theuterus. There is also a chance that the fluid build up could leak into the uterus and interfere with the embryo implanting itselfproperly. Treatment andmanagement The most common treatment for a woman with hydrosalpinx is to have surgery to remove the affected tube. This type of surgery is known as salpingectomy.Surgery may also be offered to remove scar tissue or other adhesions that could be affecting fertility. If endometriosis is found to be the cause, doctors can also remove the endometrialgrowths. Another possible treatment is sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy is where an ultrasound-guided needle is used to draw fluid out of the affected tube. A special chemical, called a sclerosing agent, is then injected, which should prevent the fluid from building back upagain. Interventional ultrasound sclerotherapy before IVFis a very effective and acceptable prophylactic intervention alternative to salpingectomy for patients with hydrosalpinx, with no adverse effect on ovarian reserve and responsiveness during the IVFprocedure. Interventional ultrasound sclerotherapy before the IVF cycle can improve the endometrial receptivity and pregnancyrate.
