Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I've been married to my husband for over a year and haven't been able to get pregnant. The reason is that I have blocked fallopian tubes. I want to undergo treatment to get pregnant. Hello, is it better to have a hydrotubation or a contrast examination for fallopian tube obstruction?Doctor's answer:
The fallopian tube hydrotubation is generally based on the feeling of how unobstructed it is, while fallopian tube angiography provides clearer imaging, which can lead to a definitive diagnosis. If the hydrotubation is performed under MRI guidance in a formal hospital, that is also acceptable. These are merely diagnostic procedures, not treatments. If there is mild adhesion, it may also be cleared during the examination. If the blockage is severe, it is usually necessary to undergo a hysteroscopy or laparoscopy, or directly proceed with in vitro fertilization.
