Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Married for one year without pregnancy, never been pregnant before, or had a miscarriage.Current general condition: Today, I had a tubal patency test to check if my fallopian tubes are open. Due to a sudden equipment failure, the doctor used manual push instead. There was no pain during the procedure, but I felt severe lower back pain, similar to the cramps during menstruation. Both times, I experienced aching and soreness with general weakness. About half an hour after the procedure, I went to the restroom and noticed a small amount of red marks on the toilet paper. Could you please tell me what this could be? Is it serious? Is my fallopian tube open or not? If not, what treatment should I follow?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the fallopian tubes are blocked, the cause must be identified first. Blockage of the fallopian tubes can be caused by various factors such as infection, cysts, etc. It is also necessary to determine the location of the blockage—whether it is in the proximal, middle, or distal part. Different treatment methods are required depending on the cause and location. Corresponding treatment methods include interventional therapy under ultrasound guidance.
