Patient's question:
I got divorced from my husband two years ago. In these two years, we didn't rush to ask for a child and didn't pay much attention to it. Six months ago, my husband said that many things are going well now and life is not bad, so let's have a child. So we went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. But the check-up results were not good—the doctor said I have endometriosis and blocked fallopian tubes. Can I get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, it is possible to conceive, but endometriosis can lead to blocked fallopian tubes. If the fallopian tubes are blocked, the procedure called "hydrotherapy" (a type of irrigation) may cause pain. The success depends on the severity of the blockage—if it's not too severe, one session of hydrotherapy might be enough. For the sake of the baby, you may need to endure the pain. Hydrotherapy is quick, and the pain is brief. If it doesn’t work, further investigation can be done, and in vitro fertilization (IVF), also known as test-tube baby, may be an option. In fact, having gynecological diseases is not something to be feared. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as it is detected early and treated promptly, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
