Patient's question:
My colleague has been married for three years and hasn't been pregnant yet, which has caused a lot of disharmony in the family. They decided to go to the hospital for a check-up to find out what the problem is. The doctor suggested a thorough examination to see if the fallopian tubes are unobstructed. My colleague didn't quite understand and wanted to ask what the method for checking the fallopian tubes' patency is.Doctor's answer:
Your colleague has been married for three years and has not become pregnant. This situation exhibits symptoms of infertility. Generally, the first consideration is the possibility of blocked fallopian tubes. Therefore, it is necessary to undergo a fallopian tube patency test within 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period is clean. This can be done through a fallopian tube hydrotubation examination or a direct fallopian tube angiography examination to determine the patency of the fallopian tubes. If necessary, the size of the follicles can also be tested to identify the cause of infertility. Based on the cause, active treatment should be administered.
