Patient's question:
I'm only in my early 20s this year, and I just got married. I'm trying to conceive, but during the check-up, I found out that my fallopian tubes are blocked. The doctor said the chances of getting pregnant are very low. What should I do? Please ask: What are the treatment options for blocked fallopian tubes?Doctor's answer:
General obstruction is treated with surgical methods: (1) Tubal irrigation: It can be performed 3 days after menstruation. The treatment fluid is infused into the uterine cavity through a tubal irrigation catheter. It is performed once every other day until treatment is stopped before ovulation. This therapy is still adopted by most medical institutions, but the efficacy is poor, and the false-positive rate is high. (2) Conventional surgical treatment: For inflamed fallopian tubes, procedures such as tubal ostomy, adhesion fusion, tubal anastomosis, and uterine-tubal implantation are performed. Conventional surgery involves large incisions, and postoperative recovery is slow.
