Patient's question:
I had an abortion 6 years ago and have been unable to conceive since. After examination, it was confirmed that I have fallopian tube blockage with both ends elevated. Could you please advise the most effective treatment? Can I still get pregnant? Is it possible to undergo IVF, and how much would it cost?Doctor's answer:
Hysterosalpingography, traditionally used for patients with blocked fallopian tubes, involves either hysterosalpingography or fluid infusion. Hysterosalpingography serves both as a diagnostic tool and a method for clearing blockages, while fluid infusion is gradually being phased out. Most patients with mild adhesions in their fallopian tubes can achieve recanalization after a single round of hysterosalpingography, or by combining it with traditional Chinese medicine, physiotherapy, and other methods, yielding good results. If the adhesions are severe, surgery may still be necessary.Fallopian Tube Patency Issues—Laparoscopic, For cases of fallopian tube patency issues, such as blockages caused by debris, shed cells, or blood clots, overly narrow or twisted fallopian tubes, or adhesions, laparoscopic surgery can be used for. External adhesions can also be cut or dissected using laparoscopy, effectively "relaxing" the fallopian tubes. After treatment, most patients can conceive normally.
