Patient's question:
Sister is going to traditional Chinese medicine for pre-pregnancy conditioning. The doctor said it is necessary to have a thorough examination to rule out whether the fallopian tubes are blocked. How should fallopian tube blockage be examined?Doctor's answer:
I have reviewed the situation you mentioned. It is recommended to check if the fallopian tubes are open by visiting the hospital. The main surgical procedure used for this is hysterosalpingography, which involves injecting iodinated oil through the cervix into the uterus and then allowing it to flow into the fallopian tubes. If the fallopian tubes are (open), the contrast medium can be expelled from both sides of the tubes into the abdominal cavity. For patients with blocked fallopian tubes, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining good hygiene in the private area and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Lastly, I advise female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
