Can a patient with a history of hydrosalpinx (not acute) have a micro-insert placed?
There is no contraindication for Essure placement in women with a history of hydrosalpinx, however, it is contraindicated for women with active or recent upper or lower tract pelvic infections. Also, be aware that uterine or fallopian tube anomalies may make it difficult to place the micro-insert, and a hydrosalpinx could result in a dilated proximal tube, making placement or micro-insert retention difficult.
