Brief Answer:
Hydrosalpinx should be treated first

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Presence of a single fallopian tube along with the fluid in its lumen is medically called as hydrosalpinx.

The probability of a successful conception with this disordered tube is extremely low.

I sincerely advice you to get this hydrosalpinx treated first before planning for pregnancy.

It is advisable to get an ultrasound abdomen to find out the cause of hydrosalpinx and to treat accordingly

consultation with a gynecologist is mandatory to proceed with the therapeutic protocol

Post your further queries if any
thank you
