How do I know if my fallopian tubes are blocked?

Normally, there are no symptoms of fallopian tube blockage. If you want to know whether your fallopian tubes are unobstructed, it is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations. If there is no blockage, if you want a baby, don't put too much pressure on yourself, pay more attention to rest, and maintain a balanced diet. Generally, you can get pregnant. So how do you judge whether the fallopian tubes are blocked?

How to detect 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.

4. Laparoscopic examination is very effective in diagnosing fallopian tube obstruction, so people should know more about it. Laparoscopic examination is to inject pigment liquid into the uterine cavity through the uterine catheter, and observe through laparoscope that the pigment liquid overflows into the pelvic cavity through the fallopian tube fimbria, indicating that the fallopian tube is unobstructed; if the proximal fallopian tube is blocked, the pigment liquid will not overflow into the abdominal cavity through the fallopian tube fimbria, indicating that the fallopian tube is blocked. If the distal fallopian tube is blocked, the fallopian tube fimbria and ampulla can be seen to be expanded and thickened and stained blue, but the pigment liquid flows into the abdominal cavity through the fallopian tube fimbria.

Precautions for hysterosalpingography

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.

How to check for fallopian tube blockage? The above is a detailed introduction to many female patients. So if you have fallopian tube blockage, you must pass the examination as soon as possible. After the examination results come out, go to a regular hospital as soon as possible and use effective methods to clear the blocked fallopian tube. This will allow your sperm to pass through the fallopian tube smoothly to reach the uterus.
