What tests are used to check for fallopian tube blockage

Patient's question:

It's been almost a year since we got married, and there are still no signs of pregnancy. We got married late in the first place, and the fact that I haven't been able to conceive is making me even more anxious. If it's a fallopian tube blockage, delaying treatment could make it very difficult to cure. I had a friend who experienced this, but thankfully they got checked early. So, I'd like to ask, what tests are done to check for a fallopian tube blockage?

Doctor's answer:

Methods for checking fallopian tube blockage include:
1. Tubal hydrotubation;
2. Hysterosalpingography (HSG);
3. Laparoscopy with hysteroscopy.
Fallopian tube blockage may lead to infertility. Therefore, some patients may have partial blockage (tubal hydrotubation), unilateral patency with contralateral blockage, or bilateral blockage. To determine the condition of fallopian tube blockage is essential for selecting the appropriate treatment plan.
