Patient's question:
After having the ectopic pregnancy surgery over a year ago, when I was discharged, the doctor said I should try to get pregnant a year later and have the fallopian tubes cleared. I want to ask how long it will take to get pregnant after the tubes are cleared? Will it be painful to clear the fallopian tubes?Doctor's answer:
Tubal blockage should first determine whether menstruation is normal, irregular, or absent. Past medical history, such as tuberculosis, anemia, dyspepsia, previous surgeries, developmental and growth history, and occupational exposure to toxic substances, should be considered to preliminarily assess the possibility of interference with menstruation. To confirm whether the fallopian tubes are blocked, a hospital can perform a tubal hydrotubation or, after menstruation for 3-7 days, undergo a non-shared room tubal contrast examination to determine the location and severity of the blockage.
