The only and significant role of the fallopian tubes is to help with pregnancy, but because the fallopian tubes are not easy to find, this makes many women who are trying to conceive suffer.
Normal tubal blockage to be judged by professional examination, but most women of childbearing age can also be screened through some signals sent by the body, if the following situations occur, there is a high probability that the fallopian tubes are blocked and need to be paid attention to.
Irregular menstruation
Because the fallopian tubes are adjacent to the ovaries, when inflammation spreads to the ovaries and causes damage to ovarian function, menstrual abnormalities occur, and frequent menstruation and excessive menstruation are common symptoms here.
Discomfort in the abdomen, waist, etc
There will be different degrees of discomfort in the abdomen, and the lower back and sacral area will be sore, swollen, and falling, often exacerbated by fatigue.
Infertility after marriage
Secondary infertility is generally more common because the fallopian tubes become clogged after being damaged by the disease, resulting in infertility.
other
Tubal failure is also accompanied by increased vaginal discharge, gastrointestinal discomfort, fatigue and fatigue, labor impact or mental depression.
There are many reasons for tubal blockage, common causes are related to multiple abortions, venereal diseases and some congenital factors, such as congenital slender fallopian tubes, distortion can easily cause ectopic pregnancy, and ectopic pregnancy is easy to cause tubal incompatibility. Of course, some diseases such as tuberculosis, cysts, endometriosis, etc., may also lead to tubal obstruction.
If tubal obstruction is suspected, what tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis?
Tubal iodine oil contrast
Doctors will choose whether to do fallopian iodine oil angiography, referred to as HSG, according to the patient's infertility time and possible causes, which is also the most commonly used method.
Salpingogram can see the size, shape, and location of the woman's uterine cavity, as well as the morphology of the fallopian tubes. If the fallopian tubes are blocked, the location, extent and nature of the blockage can be clearly displayed, providing a scientific basis for the determination of the treatment method.
Opt-in contrast tests are generally performed 3 days after menstruation is clean to before ovulation, do not have sex before contrast, and have normal vaginal discharge examinations. Sexual life is prohibited within 1 week after the contrast, it is best not to try to get pregnant in the month, if you are not carefully pregnant, most of them have no problems, pay attention to regular pregnancy tests.
Other methods
The fallopian tube fluid is too large and has been basically eliminated at present.
And ultrasound tubal contrast, this method can be used, but most hospitals do not carry out.
Another type of hysteroscopic or laparoscopic tubal fluid is therapeutic in addition to examination.
Doctors typically treat it at the same time as a problem is found on salpingogram or when other conditions require laparoscopic surgery. Of course, the specific treatment plan still needs to be determined after consulting a doctor.
After understanding what tests should be done for blocked fallopian tubes, let's talk about treatment. In the treatment of tubal blockage, many patients have some "misunderstandings", so that the treatment fails, resulting in delay in conceiving the baby.
Blind medication, blind medical treatment, no targeting
Most patients treat blocked fallopian tubes with medications. However, not everyone is suitable. For patients with severe tubal adhesions, in addition to eliminating some inflammation, it is almost ineffective against the already blocked fallopian tubes.
In addition, many patients with blocked fallopian tubes are easy to believe in advertisements, blindly seek medical treatment, treatment is not targeted, and even try the so-called secret recipes and folk remedies, but delay the treatment time. Therefore, if there is a problem, it is still recommended to go to a regular hospital for treatment.
After tubal reversal, there is no follow-up treatment
After tubal reversal surgery, relevant treatment should be done in order to achieve good efficacy, and postoperative anti-adhesion is the main problem to be solved.
Because surgery can only remove the already blocked fallopian tubes, if the root cause of the organic lesion still exists and is not perfectly solved, there are still sequelae. In addition, do not stop treatment privately because the symptoms have improved, because it is more likely to aggravate the condition by giving up halfway.
Finally, I would like to say that in the process of preparing for pregnancy, be patient, find out the reasons, prescribe the right medicine, and believe that a good pregnancy must be waiting for you.
