  1. For fallopian tube adhesion, distal obstruction, and mild hydrosalpinx, procedures such as laparoscopic salpingostomy, periadnexal adhesion lysis, and fallopian tube anastomosis can be used to restore the normal anatomy of the fallopian tube and surrounding tissues, improve patency and function, and prepare conditions for natural conception.
  2.

Common symptoms include fever, fatigue, and discomfort in the affected area. Always consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, medical history review, and possibly laboratory tests or imaging studies depending on the suspected cause.
