Patient's question:
Does tubal blockage require a culture dish? My wife just had tubal patency test results showing bilateral fallopian tubes are patent but not diffuse, with (: umbrella-like) flow at the lower end. Tuberculosis test has been done and excluded. The doctor recommended IVF. Is it this serious?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the reasons that may lead to fallopian tube blockage are as follows:1) Peritubal inflammation: Pelvic peritonitis caused by appendicitis after miscarriage or full-term delivery is one of the reasons for fallopian tube blockage. At this time, the inflammation occurs again on the serosal layer or seromuscular layer of the fallopian tube, causing the surrounding tubes to twist and narrow completely.
2) Postoperative fallopian tube surgery
3) Endometriosis.
Recommendation: It is recommended to go to a professional infertility hospital to receive targeted treatment for the blocked areas and underlying causes to achieve better results and realize the dream of childbirth earlier.
