Patient's question:
Hello, Dr. Chen, I would like to ask again if tubal contrast can treat some mild adhesions, inflammation, and blockages. If it can and has been treated, is there a report available? Or do all issues require additional surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Suspected fallopian tube blockage can be examined through fallopian tube angiography. This is a method where a catheter is used to inject contrast medium into the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes. X-ray scanners and radiographs are then taken using an X-ray diagnostic instrument. Based on the imaging of the contrast medium in the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity, it helps to understand whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, the location of blockages, and the shape of the uterine cavity. This is a standard examination method for diagnosing fallopian tube patency and can also help treat mild adhesions and inflammation. It cannot be replaced by MRI, CT, nuclear magnetic resonance, hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, or fallopian tube endoscopy.
