Patient's question:
It's been almost a year since we got married, but there haven't been any signs of pregnancy. They advised me to get checked quickly, saying if there's a problem, we should start treatment right away. If it's a fallopian tube blockage, delaying it could make it very difficult to treat. I just want to know what tests are needed for a fallopian tube blockage.Doctor's answer:
Hello, fallopian tube is a diagnostic method used to check whether a woman's fallopian tubes are unobstructed. Currently, it is one of the most widely used methods in clinical practice. It can provide an accurate diagnosis of fallopian tube blockages, with an accuracy rate of over 99%, and also has certain therapeutic effects.The best time for the procedure is 3-7 days after the end of menstruation. For those with constipation, it is recommended to take a laxative the evening before the examination or undergo an enema 2 hours before the procedure to clear intestinal contents, ensuring clear imaging. Urinate before the examination to avoid affecting the position of the uterus. An iodine allergy test should be performed first, and only if there is no allergy should the examination proceed.
Due to differences in contrast agents used for fallopian tube, the time restrictions on pregnancy after the procedure may vary. Some contrast agents allow pregnancy as early as one month later, while others may require waiting for three months to six months.
The treatment for fallopian tube blockages depends on the specific location and severity of the blockage. It is recommended to choose a formal and professional infertility hospital for treatment to achieve better results and obtain effective treatment, helping you realize your dream of having a child sooner.
