Patient's question:
I have been married to my husband for over three years, and we have a normal sex life with no contraception. However, we haven't had any children. Now that we are getting older, we really want to have a child, so we went to the hospital for a thorough examination. Unfortunately, the results came too quickly—our husband's check-up was relatively normal, so we suspect that I may have blocked fallopian tubes. What is the cost of surgery for blocked fallopian tubes?Doctor's answer:
The cost of fallopian tube blockage surgery is hard to say. Because the charging standards vary from hospital to hospital, and the surgical methods used are also different. If the blockage of the fallopian tubes is not severe, you can first have hysteroscopy with fluid irrigation. This involves inserting a scope into the uterine cavity and injecting fluid to clear some lightly adhesive areas. If the blockage is more severe, laparoscopic surgery is required, where instruments are inserted into the abdominal cavity through laparoscopy to examine which part is blocked and perform surgical treatment. Additionally, hysteroscopy is used to check the condition of the fallopian tubes, while laparoscopy is used for the surgery. If only the examination and fluid irrigation are done, the cost is around 3,000-4,000 yuan. If the combined laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery is performed, the cost will be higher, generally around 12,000 yuan.
