What is the reason why it is easy to get pregnant after fallopian tube hydrotubation?

Hydrotubation is a common method for examining fallopian tube diseases. After the examination, many women are concerned about whether they can get pregnant. Blocked fallopian tubes are one of the main causes of female infertility. So is it easy to get pregnant after the fallopian tubes are blocked with hydrotubation?

For some patients with blocked fallopian tubes, water can play a certain role in clearing the fallopian tubes. However, if the fallopian tubes are not completely cleared, but are blocked, it can easily lead to fallopian tube pregnancy. Because hydrotubation can easily lead to misdiagnosis, if the patient has obstructed fallopian tubes, hydrotubation may show them to be obstructed. Therefore, in clinical practice, many women who become pregnant after hydrotubation are eventually found to have ectopic pregnancies.

Since the fertilized egg cannot pass through the damaged fallopian tube, it can only adhere to and grow in the fallopian tube, causing tubal pregnancy. Because the wall of the fallopian tube is thin, when the fertilized egg develops to a certain stage, it will cause miscarriage of the fallopian tube pregnancy or rupture of the fallopian tube pregnancy and internal bleeding. In severe cases, it can cause heavy bleeding or even shock. Depending on the specific location of the fallopian tube pregnancy, isthmus pregnancy usually ruptures around 6 weeks of pregnancy; ampulla pregnancy ruptures often occur between 8 and 12 weeks of pregnancy; and interstitial pregnancy usually ruptures when the fetus is 3 to 4 months old.

Hydrotubation can easily introduce pathogenic microorganisms, so it should be performed after the menstruation is completely over and the endometrium is completely repaired. If you want to do an examination, you must first rule out gynecological diseases. In recent years, hydrotubation has been favored by many infertile women because some women became pregnant after hydrotubation. Once this news spread, it had a significant impact. Some women even regarded hydrotubation as a "panacea" for treating infertility. As a result, the number of infertile women requesting hydrotubation was increasing. Hydrotubation is a method of examination in which a syringe (filled with saline and antibiotics) is used together with a cervical catheter to slowly inject saline solution, and the presence or size of water pressure is used to evaluate whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed or less-obstructed.
