Hydrosalpinx is a condition where the fallopian tubes become blocked and inflamed, preventing eggs from reaching the uterus. This can lead to ectopic pregnancy where a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus. Severe hydrosalpinx causes complete loss of fallopian tube function and can damage the embryo. Traditional Chinese medicine views hydrosalpinx as caused by dampness and heat in the body disrupting kidney and endocrine function. Treatment such as Fuyan Pill uses herbs to promote blood circulation, remove blockages, and eliminate inflammation in the fallopian tubes. Women with hydrosalpinx are advised to receive treatment before pregnancy to reduce risks of ectopic pregnancy or other

2. A woman's fallopian tubes are the bridges
that transport sperm and eggs. Hydrosalpinx
is a manifestation of an inflammatory
reaction. Because of an inflammatory
response, the fallopian tube is blocked to
varying degrees.

3. Therefore, after the sperm and the egg are
fertilized, they cannot successfully pass
through the fallopian tube and return to the
uterus for implantation. Instead, they are
carried out in a specific part of the fallopian
tube and begin implantation, leading to
ectopic pregnancy.

4. Hydrosalpinx can be understood as incomplete
atresia to a certain extent. Hydrosalpinx usually
destroys the mucosa of the fallopian tube.
Especially severe hydrosalpinx can lead to the
complete loss of normal function of the fallopian
tube. It can also cause the torsion of the
fallopian tube. The blockage and adhesion at the
torsion will affect the local blood circulation for a
long time, eventually leading to blockage or
even necrosis.

5. For patients with mild hydrosalpinx, the degree
of influence on pregnancy is not so obvious. As
long as the mucosal cells of the fallopian tube
and smooth muscle peristalsis are not affected,
the fallopian tube can maintain the function of
transporting eggs. But hydrosalpinx may lead to
the partial loss of fallopian tube function,
resulting in the accumulation of eggs in the
fallopian tube, which is one of the reasons for
ectopic pregnancy.

7. Hydrosalpinx will cause particular harm to the
embryo. The quality of the embryo will affect the
implantation of the embryo. Hydrosalpinx will
hinder the embryo's development, and its toxic
substances will flow into the uterine cavity
during embryo transfer.

8. It will have a poisonous effect on the embryo
transferred into the uterus, affecting the
embryo's development, reducing the embryo's
implantation ability, and affecting the pregnancy
of women.

9. Hydrosalpinx can cause obstruction, blockage,
adhesion, and other damage in the fallopian
tube lumen, resulting in the inability to
discharge eggs, which can endanger the normal
reproductive function of female patients,
resulting in reproductive difficulties or direct
infertility.

10. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) believes that
hydrosalpinx is the invasion of dampness and
heat into the human body, which leads to the
dysfunction of the patient's kidney function and
endocrine system, causing blood stasis and
other diseases, including hydrosalpinx. Therefore,
in treating hydrosalpinx, it is necessary to
eliminate dampness and blood stasis so that the
patient's condition can be controlled as soon as
possible.

11. Fuyan Pill is a proprietary herbal medicine for
the treatment of hydrosalpinx. The ingredients in
Fuyan Pill include yam, licorice, safflower, and
other herbs. They can promote blood circulation
and remove blood stasis, which can relieve
abdominal distension and pain caused by
hydrosalpinx. Long-term use of this medicine
can eliminate inflammation in the fallopian tube
and cure hydrosalpinx.

12. A healthy body is an ideal place to give birth to a
baby, so please pay attention to this disease and
do not slack off. Patients with hydrosalpinx can
easily cause fertilized eggs to fail to reach the
uterus, resulting in the risk of ectopic pregnancy.
Therefore, patients with hydrosalpinx should
receive treatment before considering pregnancy
and childbirth. Women who are already
pregnant should also check whether their
hydrosalpinx condition affects the fetus.
