Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I have infertility due to blocked fallopian tubes, and tubal irrigation has no effect on me. Is it necessary to undergo tubal surgery, and what is the success rate? If surgery is required, should it be done before or after the menstrual period? What is the approximate cost of the surgery?First follow-up question: Is laparoscopic surgery considered major or minor surgery? Does it require incisions? How long does it take to recover? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
General treatments for fallopian tube blockage include:1. Medication therapy. The fallopian tube inflammation causing tubal obstruction infertility is primarily chronic inflammation. Therefore, most medical institutions use medication, especially traditional Chinese medicine, but the efficacy is often unsatisfactory.
2. Surgical treatment.
(1) Tubal irrigation: This can be performed 3 days after menstruation ends.
(2) Conventional surgical treatment: For cases where conservative treatment is ineffective, procedures such as tubal ostomy, adhesion separation, tubal anastomosis, and uterine-tubal implantation may be performed on the affected fallopian tubes. Conventional surgery involves large incisions and a slower postoperative recovery.
