Can hydrosalpinx be cured with medication? Is surgery the only treatment option?

If the condition is caused by an infection, the doctor will prescribe antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs to the patient. However, if it occurs for another reason, such as endometriosis for example, the cause has no possible cure.

In any case, a surgical intervention will be necessary, since the liquid remains accumulated in the tube.
