What is a tubal catheterization procedure for ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

My wife used to have an ectopic pregnancy, and now it has been 6 months. We are planning to have a child, but the doctor frequently asks her to undergo a hydrotubation procedure. What is hydrotubation for ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Laparoscopic surgery is an effective treatment to unblock fallopian tubes and prevent recurrent ectopic pregnancy. For patients, if the ectopic pregnancy condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of ectopic pregnancy. Additionally, patients need to pay attention to their diet and psychological care. Moreover, it is best to avoid sexual activity during the treatment period to prevent local infection.
