Patient's question:
A woman, who already has two children, has recently been experiencing discomfort in her lower abdomen and waist. She went to the hospital for a check-up and was told that her fallopian tubes are blocked. In her situation, how much does it cost to check for blocked fallopian tubes?Doctor's answer:
The fallopian tube plays a crucial role in transporting sperm, capturing eggs, and moving the fertilized egg to the uterine cavity. If the fallopian tube is blocked, it obstructs the passage of sperm and the fertilized egg, leading to infertility or ectopic pregnancy. The main causes of fallopian tube blockage are infections and adhesions. Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a diagnostic method used to check whether a woman's fallopian tubes are open. Only unobstructed fallopian tubes can allow a woman to conceive. When the fallopian tubes are blocked, it affects the combination of sperm and egg cells. Therefore, patients need additional examinations for treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
