What are the fallopian tube permeability tests?

For women, if they have not gotten pregnant for a long time after marriage, they will be very anxious, and their families will also be anxious. Therefore, many women in this situation want to know about the fallopian tube permeability test. In order for you to understand it in more detail and to clear your fallopian tubes as soon as possible, let's take a look at what the fallopian tube permeability tests are.

Routine examination

Hysterosalpingography: Hysterosalpingography is mainly used to check for fallopian tube obstruction. Hysterosalpingography can not only indicate whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed and the location of the obstruction, but also observe the morphology of the uterine cavity. In particular, it has positive significance for determining the site of fallopian tube obstruction and guiding the selection of treatment plans. Moreover, the images are clear and can be preserved permanently, making it easy to compare before and after treatment. Therefore, it is widely used!

Hydrotubation: This method involves injecting methylene blue solution or saline into the uterine cavity from the cervix. Then it flows into the fallopian tube from the uterine cavity. The resistance when the medicine is injected and the reflux of the liquid are used to determine whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed. In hospitals with the necessary conditions, this examination method has been completely replaced by hysterosalpingography.

Ultrasound examination: Ultrasound examination of the fallopian tubes includes conventional ultrasound examination and ultrasound fluid infusion. However, due to factors such as unclear diagnostic results and severe side effects, it is rarely used clinically.

Laparoscopic examination: This method injects a pigment solution such as methylene blue into the uterine cavity through a uterine catheter. Laparoscopic observation shows that the methylene blue overflows from the fimbria of the fallopian tube into the pelvic cavity, indicating that the fallopian tube is unobstructed. However, this method cannot determine whether the fallopian tube is truly blocked and the location of the blockage. Therefore, it is only suitable for laparoscopic examination and treatment when the fallopian tube is blocked and hydrops is diagnosed through X-ray hysterosalpingography or when there is a possibility of adhesion around the fallopian tube.

What are the tests for fallopian tube permeability? The above introduces the routine tests for fallopian tube permeability to many women. Therefore, for many women, they can have a comprehensive understanding of the above content and learn about the tests for fallopian tube permeability. Then, they can go to a regular hospital for this examination, find out the cause, and treat it as soon as possible to get pregnant as soon as possible.
