Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and so far, we haven't had any children. I'm very anxious about it and don't know if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm very worried that my condition might worsen. How should I treat blocked fallopian tubes?Doctor's answer:
Fallopian tube blockage requires additional treatment based on the location of the blockage. The best treatment for blockages in the interstitial part and isthmus of the fallopian tube is transcatheter recanalization using 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 IVF may be considered. For fimbrial blockage (hydrosalpinx), fimbrial ostomy can be performed, including laparoscopic ostomy and open surgery ostomy. The postoperative pregnancy rate is around 20%. Without knowing the specific location of your fallopian tube blockage, I cannot provide a clear recommendation. The recurrence of fallopian tube blockage significantly affects a woman's health, and patients need to pay attention to postmenstrual follow-up, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
