Does tubal catheterization have a therapeutic effect of unblocking?

Patient's question:

Last week, I had a hysterosalpingogram done due to infertility. I want to understand if a hysterosalpingogram can unblock fallopian tubes?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, from a clinical point of view, fallopian tube is only used to carefully check whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed and the shape of the fallopian tubes. If there is a blockage, where it is located, it does not have a significant effect on unblocking the fallopian tubes. If there is a blockage in the fallopian tubes, fallopian tube unblocking surgery needs to be performed to achieve the purpose of treatment. It is recommended that you decide on an appropriate treatment method based on the examination results.
