How does the fallopian tube know if it is blocked?

Patient's question:

I want to ask if a vaginal ultrasound can carefully check the fallopian tubes and whether there is any blockage?

Doctor's answer:

A vaginal ultrasound cannot detect whether the fallopian tubes are blocked. Only a fallopian tube or hysterosalpingogram can reveal if the fallopian tubes are blocked. This procedure is generally recommended to be performed 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period ends. Tubal disease is a common gynecological condition. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet as the foundation.
