Patient's question:
I've been married to my husband for two years, and we've never used contraception. However, we haven't been able to get pregnant, so we went to an infertility hospital for a thorough examination. After the doctor checked me carefully, they said I have tubal effusion and recommended that I receive intravenous fluids and oral anti-inflammatory medication for treatment. But I'm still very worried, afraid it will affect my future ability to get pregnant. Can traditional Chinese medicine treat tubal effusion?Doctor's answer:
1. Surgical treatment: Tubal ostomy is suitable for patients with proximal tubal patency and distal hydrops or self-locking.2. Medication and physical therapy: Antibiotic treatment is preferably applied locally, using methods such as lateral fornix isolation or uterine cavity anesthesia. Physical therapy can improve blood circulation to facilitate the resolution of inflammation, commonly including shortwave therapy, diathermy, and infrared irradiation. It is recommended to visit a local regular infertility hospital for thorough examination and treatment.
