Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, but haven't been able to get pregnant. After checking at the hospital, I was diagnosed with blocked fallopian tubes. How should the blockage of the fallopian tubes be treated?Doctor's answer:
Fallopian tube blockage requires additional treatment based on the location of the blockage. The optimal treatment for blockage in the interstitial part and isthmus of the fallopian tube is transcatheter recanalization under X-ray guidance, with a recanalization rate of over 90% and a postoperative pregnancy rate of 50%. For ampullary blockage, there is no effective clinical treatment, and in vitro fertilization (IVF) can be considered. For fimbrial blockage (hydrosalpinx), fimbrial ostomy can be performed, including laparoscopic ostomy and open surgery ostomy. The postoperative pregnancy rate is over 20%.
