Patient's question:
I just had a hysterosalpingogram done a couple of days ago, and the result was patent but not unobstructed. The doctor prescribed me a lot of medicine and also told me to do some physical therapy. What does physical therapy mean?Doctor's answer:
Tubal blockage refers to tubal lesions caused by inflammation of the fallopian tubes and pelvic peritoneum or congenital developmental abnormalities of the fallopian tubes. Tubal blockage is one of the main causes of female infertility. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Chinese herbal medicine are particularly effective in treating tubal blockage. TCM believes that tubal blockage is primarily caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, and taking blood-activating and stasis-resolving drugs can alleviate the condition. If patients undergo surgical treatment combined with TCM and Chinese herbal medicine, it can effectively increase the reconnection rate of the fallopian tubes and improve the pregnancy rate in patients with tubal blockage.
