Hello Doctor,
What is the treatment plan for Salpingitis Isthmica Nodosa, and can a woman still get pregnant?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Yes, pregnancy can still occur even with Salpingitis Isthmica Nodosa (SIN). The goal of treatment is to open the fallopian tubes to allow for natural conception. One option is surgery under a microscope to attempt to open the tubes; however, results may vary, and anesthesia carries inherent risks. Another method is assisted reproductive technology, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), which offers better success rates but comes at a higher cost. A third option involves the use of GnRH (Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone) injections, but this has shown limited success.
If the condition is caused by an infection, such as Cytomegalovirus (CMV), this will need to be treated first. The treatment approach will depend on factors such as your age, health, lifestyle, and other diagnostic test results, so it’s important to consult your treating specialist for personalized guidance.
Thanks
