How is fallopian tube obstruction detected?

The fallopian tube is a channel for transporting sperm, so if the fallopian tube is blocked, it means that the sperm cannot pass through the fallopian tube smoothly to reach the uterus, thus causing infertility. Therefore, many women in this situation want to undergo effective examinations as soon as possible and improve themselves through treatment as soon as possible. So how to check for fallopian tube blockage? Let's take a look at the answer.

How to check for fallopian tube obstruction

1. Hydrotubation: Inject normal saline into the uterine cavity, and then allow the saline to flow from the uterine cavity to the fallopian tube. The amount of liquid reflux is used to determine whether the fallopian tube is blocked. This method has a high misdiagnosis rate and is not recommended.

2. Ultrasound hysterosalpingography: Inject drugs into the hysterosalpingography tube, and then use the detection instrument to observe whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed. Using this method to examine the body will not cause harm to the patient and will not cause any damage. It also has a certain therapeutic effect, but the cost is relatively expensive.

3. Hysterosalpingography: This examination technology is to inject contrast agent into the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes through a catheter, and use X-ray diagnostic equipment to perform X-ray fluoroscopy and filming. According to the development of contrast agent in the fallopian tube and pelvic cavity, it can understand whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed, the location of blockage and the morphology of the uterine cavity. Certain treatments can be carried out at the same time, and the cost is not high. It is currently the most effective method for examining fallopian tubes.

Precautions for salpingography examination:

1. Hysterosalpingography must be performed within 2-7 days after the end of menstruation.

2. It is best not to have sex before the menstrual examination.

3. Do not take a bath or have sexual intercourse for two weeks after angiography. Antibiotics may be given as appropriate to prevent infection.

4. It is best to practice contraception for three months after the contrast examination to reduce the possible effects of X-ray exposure. However, clinical observations have found that women who become pregnant in the same month after angiography do not have an increased risk of fetal abnormalities.

5. Avoid spicy food and maintain a light diet.
