Does it hurt to unblock fallopian tubes?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my husband and I really want to have a child, but we've been unable to conceive. Last week, my husband and I had a thorough check-up at the hospital and found that my fallopian tubes are blocked. The hospital said I need to have a fallopian tube unblocking surgery. I'm very afraid of pain. Is the fallopian tube unblocking surgery painful?

Doctor's answer:

In the case of tubal dilation and irrigation, if there is severe blockage in the fallopian tubes, pain may reappear. However, doctors will perform treatment based on the specific situation, and it will not be particularly painful—usually manageable. It is recommended to relax and not to be overly anxious or worried. After the surgery, it is necessary to rest, avoid sexual activity, and maintain cleanliness. Oral anti-inflammatory medications can be administered to treat infections and control the spread of infection.
