Patient's question:
I've been married for a year, but I haven't gotten pregnant yet. I suspect it might be due to blocked fallopian tubes. How can you determine if the fallopian tubes are blocked?Doctor's answer:
You have been married for a year and have not become pregnant. If you have not taken any contraceptive measures, this is a situation where you should first consider having blocked fallopian tubes. In the early stages, blocked fallopian tubes usually show no symptoms, but later on, you may experience abdominal bloating or discomfort during ovulation. However, these symptoms are usually very mild. If you need a thorough examination, a hysterosalpingography (HSG) should be performed.For patients with blocked fallopian tubes, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. For example, maintain cleanliness, avoid sexual intercourse, and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
