IVF
Popular science knowledge
Many people think that the IVF treatment process is to take out the eggs and fertilize them into embryos with sperm in vitro, without going through the fallopian tubes, so why do you need to deal with hydrosalpinx before doing IVF? In response to this problem, the following will explain to you the significance of treating hydrosalpinx before IVF treatment.
Structure of the fallopian tubes
Hydrosalpinx affects the intrauterine environment
The fallopian tube is an important place for the union of sperm and egg, and it is also responsible for transporting the fertilized egg to the uterine cavity, which can have a great impact on the transport process once the fallopian tubes are diseased.
Hydrosalpinx is one of the more common types of tubal lesions, mainly referring to the accumulation of body fluids in the fallopian tubes, resulting in the inability of the fallopian tubes to swing freely to grasp the egg. Severe hydrosalpinx can also cause problems such as blocked fallopian tubes, blocked fallopian tubes, and adhesions to the fallopian tubes.
Microorganisms, detritus and toxic substances contained in the hydroponic fluid can enter the uterine cavity directly, stimulating the tissues in the cavity to release cytokines, prostaglandins, leukocyte chemokines and other inflammatory complexes, directly or through blood and lymphatic transport, acting on the endometrium, these substances participate in regulating the movement of the fallopian tubes and uterus, affecting embryo implantation, and can also affect the tolerance of the uterus.
Hydrosalpinx can affect IVF success rates
The direct ivory of IVF without treatment of hydrosalpinx can affect the success rate of IVF, mainly because the hydrops in the fallopian tubes will excrete the embryos in the uterine cavity, or the hydroponic water contains toxic substances, which may affect the growth of the embryos and reduce the success rate.
Clinically, it has also been found that patients with hydrosalpinx are also more likely to have a spontaneous abortion after pregnancy.
Studies have found that patients who have previously had their fallopian tubes have a higher success rate, live birth rate, and embryo implantation rate than those who have not removed fallopian tubes. Therefore, the current medical consensus is that before IVF treatment, patients with tubal lesions need to be ligated or removed to ensure the success rate of IVF. Therefore, patients who are ready for IVF still need to deal with the problem of hydrosalpinx first.
