Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Can blocked fallopian tubes be detected using an ovulation test?Doctor's answer:
Fallopian tube blockage is a significant cause of infertility in gynecology. Although this condition does not affect menstruation or ovulation, it can hinder the combination of sperm and eggs or prevent the fertilized egg from reaching the uterus, leading to female infertility. Generally, it can be detected using test strips. The male should abstain from sex for 3-5 days and undergo a routine semen analysis. The female should have her endocrine levels checked using electrochemical luminescence during the 3-5 days of her menstrual period; a vaginal mirror examination, dynamic digital hysterosalpingography, and 4D vaginal ultrasound should be performed 3-5 days after her period ends. This usually leads to a definitive diagnosis. If the cause remains undetermined, further examination with an electronic hysteroscope or laparoscope is necessary.
