Should I have a tubal patency test after an ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

After a year of ectopic pregnancy, I went to the hospital for a tubal patency test. Due to the ultrasound results: the uterus is retroverted, with a size of approximately 46x36x32mm, the intrauterine light spots are evenly arranged, the endometrium is 8mm thick (double-layered), and there is a 21mm retroverted uterine cavity effusion. The doctor said there is pelvic inflammation and suggested waiting for the inflammation to subside before performing the surgery. Additionally, they prescribed one box of Kangfu Xiaoyan, two boxes of Fule tablets, and one plate of metronidazole tablets. Blood tests for white blood cells and red blood cells were conducted, and one eosinophil count was 0.03, which seems slightly abnormal within the reference range. What impact does this have? What kind of help would you like: Hello, is the pelvic inflammation severe in my current condition? Is it necessary to perform a tubal patency test after ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, treatment is not necessary. Pathological pelvic effusion is mostly caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, or endometriosis. Most patients with this type of pelvic effusion have symptoms, such as lower abdominal pain, lower abdominal distension and pain, dragging pain, lower back and sacral pain, lower back aching, and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen. The patients feel very uncomfortable and should be actively treated immediately until the effusion is absorbed and disappears. So far. It is recommended that if a fallopian tube is removed due to ectopic pregnancy, there is still a chance to get pregnant, although the opportunity may be relatively reduced. The most common cause of ectopic pregnancy is inflammation or blockage of the fallopian tube. Therefore, after surgery, it is best to perform fallopian tube hydrotubation or contrast imaging to understand the patency of the fallopian tubes before considering pregnancy.
