Bilateral tubal occlusion with a right hydrosalpinx
Hi Brian, I've been diagnosed with Bilateral tubal occlusion with a right hydrosalpinx. I've read that having a hydrosalpinx can cause problems with IVF. Have you had success patients with this diagnosis or do you recommend having surgery first? Thanks
