Tubal obstruction is an abnormal symptom encountered by many women nowadays, and it is also one of the common causes of female infertility. After preparing for pregnancy for a period of time, a woman found that she had not been able to conceive normally and was worried that it was caused by blocked fallopian tubes. So, how to check for blocked fallopian tubes?
There are generally two methods to check whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed. The cost of choosing fluid aspiration and contrast imaging is relatively low, but there may be noticeable pain. Compared to the results of the contrast examination, it is not very clear.
Tubal obstruction is commonly examined by hysterosalpingography. Hysterosalpingography usually uses iodine oil and iodine water, which are injected into the uterine cavity through the cervical canal and observed under X-ray. By observing the movement of contrast agent, determine whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed. If there is a blockage, the specific location of the blockage can be identified, which also helps determine whether the next step is hysteroscopy or laparoscopy.
When conducting a fallopian tube examination, it is important to avoid the menstrual period and check 2-4 days after the end of menstruation. Sexual intercourse is not allowed before the examination. After the inspection, it is also important to avoid premature sexual intercourse and maintain good personal hygiene. If choosing hysterosalpingography for examination, contraception should be used when having sexual intercourse, as contrast agents can have a certain impact on fetal growth, and early pregnancy is not conducive to eugenics.
