Patient's question:
My husband and I have been married for nearly six years. During this time, I haven't been very tall, and despite over ten years of marriage, I haven't been able to conceive or give birth. To pursue this dream, I went to a specialized hospital for infertility and underwent thorough examinations. I was told that my fallopian tubes were blocked. The doctor recommended that I have a laparoscopic surgery. As I anxiously awaited the news of my pregnancy, I wondered how a laparoscopic surgery could treat blocked fallopian tubes.Doctor's answer:
The fallopian tube plays an important role in transporting sperm, absorbing eggs, and moving the fertilized egg to the uterine cavity.Fallopian tube blockage hinders the passage of sperm and the fertilized egg, leading to miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, or infertility. The main causes of fallopian tube blockage are infection and adhesion.
Methods for examining and treating fallopian tube blockage include:
1. Hysterosalpingography (HSG), which is currently one of the most widely used methods in clinical diagnosis.
