A CASE REPORT ON HYDROSALPINX IN A WOMAN WITH A PARTIAL HYSTERECTOMY

Health care

Hydrosalpinx is defined as a collection of fluid in the fallopian tube. Bilateral or unilateral illness may be present, depending on the causes of the hydrosalpinx. Most frequently, a pelvic infection is linked to bilateral hydrosalpinx. However, partial hysterectomy and hydrosalpinx, which often manifests unilaterally, may be related. Sonography is an effective technique in the visualization and diagnosis of hydrosalpinx and other fallopian tube abnormalities, despite the fact that it is frequently challenging to see a normal fallopian tube. It is crucial to include hydrosalpinx in the differential diagnosis when a patient with a history of partial hysterectomy and concomitant pelvic discomfort is reported. This case presents a woman with pain in her left abdomen with a history of partial hysterectomy. A pelvic sonogram revealed evidence of a unilateral hydrosalpinx and her symptoms resolved after antibiotic therapy.
