Patient's question:
I have fallopian tube blockage and have been using Western medicine for treatment, but it hasn't been effective. I'm considering giving up. My friend told me that traditional Chinese medicine can be used for this condition. I'm worried that if Western medicine hasn't worked, how can traditional Chinese medicine help? I'd like to ask the doctor which hospital is good for treating fallopian tube blockage?Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of fallopian tube blockage is pelvic inflammatory disease. If it is acute inflammation, anti-inflammatory conservative treatment can be administered. After the menstrual period is clean for 3 to 7 days, a fallopian tube hydrotubation test or fallopian tube angiography can be performed to determine if the tubes are blocked. If the inflammation is cured but the tubes are not very unobstructed, repeated hydrotubation can be done, and it is the best if it can be reopened. If it cannot be reopened, laparoscopic surgery is needed. If the blockage is caused by tuberculosis or surgical scars, first perform fallopian tube hydrotubation or angiography to identify the location and degree of blockage, and then determine if surgical treatment is worthwhile.
