Patient's question:
I and my husband have always wanted a baby. During this year of trying to conceive, I didn't get pregnant without breastfeeding. Yesterday, after a thorough examination at the hospital, they said my fallopian tubes are blocked and need further examination. So I would like to consult the doctor about the methods for fallopian tube examination.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, you and your husband already have a baby, but have been trying to conceive for a year without success. This can be referred to as secondary infertility. Tubal blockage is the most common cause of secondary infertility, primarily due to chronic inflammation of the fallopian tubes, which leads to adhesions and subsequent blockage. Therefore, if your menopause is normal and your husband's sperm quality is also normal, it is highly suspected that the cause is tubal blockage. You can undergo a tubal patency test or hysterosalpingography 3 to 7 days after your menstrual period is completely clean and gone.
