Patient's question:
I have an older sister who hasn't been pregnant for over ten years and has been unable to conceive. Now, she has fluid accumulation in her fallopian tubes—is this a sign that they are blocked? She doesn't want to undergo more surgeries and is considering IVF. Is it possible to do it now, and what is the likelihood of success?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic peritonitis and tubo-ovarian abscess can both lead to pelvic abscess and fluid accumulation, often resulting in fallopian tube blockage. You currently cannot undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) because IVF has specific indications. It is recommended to undergo a physical examination to diagnose the cause of elevated prolactin levels and rule out conditions such as pituitary tumors. For fallopian tube blockage, laparoscopic surgery is suggested. IVF also carries the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. You could try discussing your situation with an expert. When looking for a hospital, you might consider one that is known for its infertility treatment techniques in addition to treating gynecological conditions. It is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life.
