Both tubes blocked with hydrosalpinx? This is not something to “fix” with just any surgery. 🩺
I recently saw a patient who had been trying for 8 years. Both tubes were severely damaged with hydrosalpinx.
In cases of severe bilateral tubal disease, IVF may be the most appropriate option, and treating the hydrosalpinx before IVF can improve outcomes.
Sometimes the most honest advice is not another operation.
It’s telling the patient what can and cannot realistically work. 🤍
