What are the hazards of tubal irrigation?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I have been married to my husband for four or five years and have not been able to get pregnant. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that my fallopian tubes were blocked. The doctor recommended that I have a hydrotubation surgery. So, could you please tell me what are the hazards of fallopian tube hydrotubation?

Doctor's answer:

The main risks of tubal irrigation are the possibility of reinfection. Another risk is that it may not be successful in clearing the blockage, so a comprehensive evaluation of the pros and cons is necessary. You should consider your results from the tubal contrast examination to assess the severity of the blockage, and then determine the treatment plan. Additionally, if pregnancy does not occur after the irrigation surgery, there may be a risk of re-adhesion. If you are currently eager to get pregnant, you can try it.
