Patient's question:
My wife suffered from ectopic pregnancy last year. Now we want to have a child, but we are very upset about the ectopic pregnancy. On December 27, she went to the hospital for an ultrasound and a routine vaginal discharge test. The test results showed no problems. The clinical diagnosis doctor said we still need to have a fallopian tube.Doctor's answer:
Clinical practice shows that the misdiagnosis rate for hydrosalpinx is as high as 50%. It cannot confirm the location of fallopian tube blockage, nor can it determine the severity and nature of the blockage. It may also lead to the risk of fallopian tube rupture (such as ectopic pregnancy) causing heavy bleeding. The best method for examining fallopian tubes now is to use fallopian tube catheterization from the lumen of the fallopian tube. Contrast media not only reflects how the fallopian tubes are unobstructed or blocked but can also carefully observe the shape of the uterine cavity.
