What is fallopian tube patency?

Patient's question:

Just graduated from university and started working not long ago, but my body had problems again. These past few days, my stomach hasn't felt well. I went to see a gynecologist and had an ultrasound. The result said there's an issue with my fallopian tubes—they're blocked but not completely. I don't understand what that means. What does it mean?

Doctor's answer:

If the fallopian tubes are not completely blocked but still not fully open, it is often said that you have chronic tubal inflammation. This condition generally only affects fertility, and if you plan to have children in the future, it may lead to infertility. Most cases of fallopian tube blockage are caused by chronic inflammation, and it is essential to treat this condition promptly. Treatment measures include laparoscopic surgery, herbal enemas, intravenous fluids, and more. After successful treatment, it is important to try to conceive as soon as possible. The recurrence of fallopian tube issues significantly affects women's health, so it is necessary to pay attention to post-menstrual follow-up checks, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
