Patient's question:
I've always wanted to have a baby, but I just couldn't get pregnant. My friend said it might be due to blocked fallopian tubes. I want to ask if an ultrasound can detect blocked fallopian tubes?Doctor's answer:
If there is obvious inflammation, ultrasound can detect inflammation of the adnexa, but it cannot confirm whether there is a blockage. A careful examination of how the fallopian tubes are blocked can be done through hysterosalpingography or tubal fluid infusion. Hysterosalpingography provides clearer images and can pinpoint the location, while tubal fluid infusion can only speculate whether the tubes are open or blocked. The examination should be performed 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period ends. Wishing you good health.
