Patient's question:
I have been married to my husband for over ten years and really want a child, but I have never been able to conceive. A few days ago, I was in my ovulation period and finally gathered the courage to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said I have follicles that can indicate menopause. Can this prove that my fallopian tubes are open?Doctor's answer:
The ovary and fallopian tube are two organs. Menopause proves that the ovarian function is normal, but it does not prove that the fallopian tube is unobstructed. Only if the fallopian tube can deliver does it prove that the fallopian tube is unobstructed. If the fallopian tube has inflammation and is blocked, the ovary does not suffer and menopause occurs. If you are under 30 years old and plan to have a child but do not get pregnant within a year, you need to have a fallopian tube on the third day after menstruation is clean. This can reveal whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed before considering how to treat it.
