When female friends entering the preparatory period are unable to conceive, they may also consider whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed. However, if the fallopian tubes are not unobstructed or blocked, they often do not show obvious clinical symptoms on their own, so they need to be diagnosed through examination. So, can getting a color ultrasound at the hospital detect fallopian tubes?
The use of ultrasound examination can observe the fallopian tubes, but whether it can detect the type of disease in the fallopian tubes can sometimes not be completely determined solely by ultrasound examination. If there is fluid accumulation in the fallopian tubes, it can be detected by ultrasound, but to clarify the direction and patency of the fallopian tubes, ultrasound cannot detect such symptoms. The main methods for detecting narrow or blocked fallopian tubes are tubal patency or hysterosalpingography.
In addition, B-ultrasound examination of hydrosalpinx is mainly used for cases of acute inflammation of the fallopian tubes. Due to the presence of a large amount of inflammatory exudate in the fallopian tube lumen, ultrasound can be used to display it. After the inflammation subsides and the accumulation of water is eliminated, a simple ultrasound examination during the non inflammatory acute phase cannot fully confirm the diagnosis.
Some women, although advised by doctors to undergo tubal patency or hysterosalpingography, are afraid that this method may cause damage to their body, and ultrasound examination is ultimately a non-invasive imaging examination. However, for diseases, it is sometimes necessary to combine multiple examinations to obtain an accurate diagnosis. Therefore, patients need to actively cooperate with the examination in order to make an accurate diagnosis of fallopian tube diseases.
