Is it better to have surgery or direct IVF for tubal fluid?



Hydrocele is recommended to be treated with surgery first, not directly in vitro.

If there is fluid in the fallopian tube, you can’t do IVF directly. Most of the water in the fallopian tube develops from inflammation of the fallopian tube, which causes adhesion of the umbilical end of the fallopian tube and the formation of fallopian tubal fluid.

In patients with hydrosalpinx, the fluid contains a large number of bacteria and toxins, and when IVF is done directly, the fluid will wash away the fertilized eggs in the process of flowing, and IVF will easily fail. Bacteria and toxins in the fluid may attack the fertilized eggs and affect their implantation.

For patients diagnosed with hydrosalpinx through examination, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment first, such as tubal vasectomy, and then consider IVF after the surgery when the body recovers well, which can increase the success rate of IVF.

Therefore, patients with hydrosalpinx in the fallopian tube are recommended to go to the hospital for treatment first, and then consider pregnancy after the disease is cured.
