[|Human|] Hi, i recently had a laporoscopy to drain 3 cysts (2 on the right tube and 1 on the left) and i am due back in 5 weeks to unblock them. i have been back to hospital 3 times since as pains no better they did another scan and said the cyst had shrunk and i would have to just wait for the appointment as there is nothing more they can do, they said that the second appointment may not even be surgery as its a clinical appointment. I have also noticed on the discharge note under procedures it says Hydrosalpinx and this was never mentioned in hospital (i now know what it means after researching on the web). I am so confused and now have no idea what the laporoscopy was for?? please help Thanks
[|AI|]  Thank you for your query. Would you please clarify a few things for me?1) how old are you?2) have you had any abdominal or pelvic surgeries?3) have you had any pelvic infections?4) do you have child Chat Doctor.  I will do my best to clarify this for you. The ovaries and fallopian tubes are paired structures (one on each side). The ovaries and the fallopian tubes are in proximity (to facilitate retrieval of the released egg) and the tubes connect to the Uterus, one on each side. During each menstrual cycle, follicles (in the ovaries) develop, one of which will release the egg(ovulation) which is collected by the fallopian tube and transferred into the uterus. If it meets sperm on the May, it may get fertilized and develop into an embryo and implant in the uterus, resulting in pregnancy. While the egg develops and is released, the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) also develops and prepares itself for receiving an embryo. In the absence of pregnancy, this lining is shed and a period/menstruation results. Endometriosis is a condition where this lining grows elsewhere (other than inside the uterus), like on the ovary, tubes, abdominal organs and wall. Chocolate cysts (due to the chocolate colored fluid in the) or endometriosis cysts form and can be problematic (cause pain, inflammation, infertility)Ovarian cysts include different types of cysts (functional, Desmond, endometriosis, tumors)small (less than 5cms) functional cysts are mostly benign and go away on their own in a couple of months. Large & persistent functional cysts, Desmond and complex cysts, need to be removed and examined assess underlying pathology. Endometriotic cysts need to be decompressed and the condition medically/hormonally controlled to preserve and enable fertility. Hy
