Patient's question:
The left ovary has a 2 cm cyst, which may cause fallopian tube blockage. Can surgery be performed? How much will it cost approximately?Doctor's answer:
Fallopian tube blockage requires additional treatment based on the location of the blockage. The best treatment for blockages in the interstitial part and isthmus of the fallopian tube is the use of X-ray-guided transcatheter recanalization, with a recanalization rate of over 90% and a postoperative pregnancy rate of 50%. For ampullary blockage, there is no effective clinical treatment, and in vitro fertilization (IVF) can be considered. For fimbrial blockage (hydrosalpinx), fimbrial ostomy can be performed, which includes laparoscopic ostomy and open surgery ostomy, with a postoperative pregnancy rate of over 20%. Without knowing the specific location of your fallopian tube blockage, I cannot provide a clear recommendation. This may be due to blood stasis. Generally, it can be regulated by consuming blood-activating and stasis-resolving traditional Chinese medicine. Of course, fallopian tube hydrotubation or COOK catheterization can also be performed.
