Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing occasional dull pain in the lower left abdomen. When I went to the hospital, the doctor recommended a fallopian tube hydrotubation. Five days ago, I had one hydrotubation, and the doctor said my fallopian tube was blocked. Treatment lasted for two days, during which a small amount of dark red fluid was discharged. Yesterday, the doctor had me do another hydrotubation and said that the left fallopian tube still hasn't been cleared, so I need to have another round of treatment.Doctor's answer:
Hello, tubal patency test is a traditional method of fluid infusion, which cannot accurately determine the specific site of lesions. Frequent fluid irrigation may lead to infection and tubal hydrops, such as fimbrial hydrops or tubal leakage, which cannot be identified through irrigation. The best diagnostic method for tubal conditions currently is tubal contrast imaging, which can clearly identify the location and severity of tubal blockage. It is recommended to undergo examination in a professional and reputable hospital for symptomatic treatment. Wishing you good health!
