Patient's question:
After several years of marriage, we have always been living in our own world. We wanted to add a member to our family and prepare to have a baby this year. However, the problem came up. During the pre-pregnancy checkup, I was told that I have blocked fallopian tubes, which makes it very difficult to get pregnant. It was like a thunderbolt from the clear sky. I couldn't understand it at all. I had always been chaste before, but I never expected to get this disease. Can blocked fallopian tubes be treated?Doctor's answer:
Women may experience tubal blockage due to repeated tubal inflammation or tubal hydrops leading to tubal adhesion. Generally, tubal blockage usually requires tubal contrast examination for diagnosis. If the tubal blockage is complete, it can be relieved, and one can consider using a combined laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery for dilation. After dilation, it is important to conceive and get pregnant as soon as possible to prevent re-adhesion and blockage of the fallopian tubes. For cases of tubal patency but not unobstructed, one can consider using tubal hydrotubation for dilation of the fallopian tubes.
