Patient's question:
After one and a half years of divorce, five thousand years of history, a needle and a blade of grass have protected hundreds of millions of descendants of Yan and Huang. For nearly five months, I have been breastfeeding but haven't been able to conceive a baby. I just had a thorough examination, and the growth of follicles in both ovaries is still good. The doctor recommended doing a fallopian tube next month. I want to know if it harms the body, how it is done, and how much it generally costs. How long after a miscarriage can one have sexual intercourse? High-quality collection.Doctor's answer:
Tubal blockage is a common cause of infertility, accounting for one-third of infertile patients, and has shown a gradual increasing trend in recent years, posing a significant challenge in the treatment of infertility. Tubal blockage is primarily caused by inflammation spreading from the endometrium upwards, first leading to inflammatory changes in the tubal mucosa. The tubal epithelium then undergoes degenerative changes or sheet-like shedding, resulting in adhesion of the tubal mucosa, followed by self-locking of the tubal lumen or fimbriae. Traditional treatment methods mainly include tubal irrigation or surgical intervention. Tubal irrigation, although simple to perform, has poor accuracy and unsatisfactory outcomes, and has gradually been phased out. Tubal implantation, anastomosis, or fistuloplasty, among other surgical microsurgical procedures, require high technical expertise, incur significant costs, and have uncertain efficacy in achieving complete functional recovery.
