How many times is tubal irrigation needed?

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital last month to check if my fallopian tubes were open. The doctor said the front part was blocked but the back part was open. The doctor recommended treatment and said it should last for three months, with three sessions each month. Is that correct? However, I heard from another patient who went with me that other hospitals only need to do it once.

Doctor's answer:

One round of tubal irrigation is sufficient. Generally, tubal irrigation is performed three to seven days after the menstrual period ends. Frequent irrigation is unnecessary, as repeated procedures can cause harm and may damage the fallopian tube lining. If there is a blockage or partial blockage in the fallopian tubes, the number of irrigation sessions should be determined based on the specific condition and treatment effectiveness, with no fixed frequency. It is recommended that you visit a reputable and professional fertility hospital for targeted treatment. The primary approach should involve a personalized examination and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
