Hydrosalpinx - The wait begins again!

[Nickimidge]

I had my gynae appt last friday. The gynae was lovely and although i had my reservations as he was a man, he was understanding, supportive and patient with me when i sat and cried throughout the whole of my appointment.

He explained everything really thoroughly, went through my last scan with me. He explained that he thought my hydrosalpinx was caused due to an infection that had shown up on some swabs they did when i was in hospital and that i had PID. He said he wanted to send me away with a prescription for some more antibiotics to ensure as much as possible that the infection had been treated properly otherwise if not it could cause more problems for me. He said wether it unblocks to tube or not the tube would be severley damaged, he wants me to have another scan and then go back in 8 weeks to see him and then i'll most definatly be having surgery to remove the tube. I've got my head around the fact that my tube is going to be removed, as i've more or less prepared myself for it. What i hadn't prepared myself for was another waiting game, and although i know he's doing everything right and has my best interests at heart i'm frustrated that i'm left waiting again, i've recieved my appt through the post this morning and although i know 8 weeks isn't that far away, it still seems it. I seem to be endlessly counting down to appts at the moment. 😩🙈 xxx

Hi Nickimidge . I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. I can empathise as I had exactly the same experience 18 months ago, PID causing hydrosalpinges in both tubes. The pain was horrendous. I ended up in A&E and admitted to hospital for 11days almost with sepsis, on IV antibiotics, was discharged and went back to have surgery. Anyway just wanted to know you're not alone and I'm glad your gynae was helpful, although I totally get your frustrations at having to wait again as you just want to get it sorted. Hopefully your antibiotics will do the trick and sort the pain before you think about the next steps. If you'd like someone to talk to feel free to private msg me. X
