Tubal obstruction is a major cause of infertility, and it is suspected that these four tests can be performed for tubal obstruction

Infertility is particularly common in our daily lives, and there are many reasons for it. Among them, blocked fallopian tubes are a common type. After discovering infertility, reasonable examinations must be conducted in a regular hospital.

Symptoms of blocked fallopian tubes

1. Physiological pain: Long term chronic inflammation of the fallopian tubes causes pelvic congestion, leading to congestive physiological pain. Physiological pain is often accompanied by abdominal pain starting one week before menstruation, and the closer the physiological day is to the menstrual day, the heavier it becomes before the onset of menstruation.

2. Irregular menstruation: The fallopian tubes are adjacent to the ovaries. When fallopian tube inflammation affects the ovaries, it can cause a certain degree of damage to ovarian function and cause menstrual abnormalities. Among them, frequent menstruation and excessive menstrual flow are the most common.

3. Infertility: The fallopian tube plays an important role in transporting sperm, ingesting eggs, and transporting Zygote to the uterine cavity. When the fallopian tube is damaged by diseases, it becomes blocked, hindering the passage of sperm and Zygote, and infertility occurs.

4. Others: serious fallopian tube blockage. In addition to infertility, dysmenorrhea and other symptoms, there may also be increased leucorrhea, pain in sexual life, gastrointestinal disorders, fatigue, labor affected, impatience, mental and neurological symptoms, and mental depression.

Examination for blocked fallopian tubes

1. Tubal irrigation: Tubal irrigation involves inserting a tube into the examined uterine cavity and injecting 20ml of medication through the tube. The medication is usually added to physiological saline with antibiotics. The medicine flows through the fallopian tubes from the uterine cavity and finally reaches the pelvic cavity. According to the characteristic that the uterine cavity can only accommodate 5ml of volume, if 20ml of solution can be smoothly injected and the needle tube is relaxed, the liquid does not flow into the needle tube, indicating that the solution enters the abdominal cavity through the uterine cavity and fallopian tube cavity, indicating a high resistance to fallopian tube patency. After the needle tube is relaxed, more than 10ml of solution flows into the needle tube

2. Ultrasound examination: Ultrasound examination of the fallopian tubes includes regular ultrasound examination and ultrasound assisted fluid infusion. General examination shows that some hydrosalpinx can be detected by ultrasound, and there are thickened liquid dark areas on both sides of the uterus, but ultrasound can not detect hydrosalpinx or Ovarian cyst, only the possibility of hydrosalpinx can be diagnosed.

3. X-ray hysterosalpingography: X-ray hysterosalpingography can see the size, shape, and position of the uterine cavity, as well as the shape of the fallopian tubes from fluorescent screens and X-ray photographs. For those who are unobstructed, the image extends beyond the umbrella port of the fallopian tube, and the diffusion of contrast agent in the pelvic cavity can be seen simultaneously on the X-ray film. If the fallopian tube is blocked, the location, degree, and nature of the blockage can be clearly displayed.
