Background introduction
Blocked fallopian tubes are a cause of infertility. To diagnose the cause of infertility, doctors need to test the fallopian tubes. Traditional fallopian tube detection methods require cumbersome steps, such as requiring the patient to undergo anesthesia, inflate the fallopian tubes, etc., and the detection time is long and expensive. In recent years, the advent of some new fallopian tube detection methods has provided patients with a more convenient and faster option for detecting fallopian tube problems.
Method 1: HSG check
Fallopian tube sparing is usually examined using reverse salpingography (HSG). This method is relatively common and has a certain degree of accuracy. The HSG examination needs to be performed 7 to 10 days after menstruation. The doctor will insert a catheter through the cervix, then inject contrast media to inflate the fallopian tubes and take X-ray pictures. However, the HSG test may cause discomfort, including a slight burning sensation and lower abdominal pain. At the same time, some patients may experience problems such as allergic reactions.
Method 2: Ultrasound examination
Ultrasound examination is a non-invasive fallopian tube detection method that can be used to detect whether the fallopian tubes are spasmed and whether they are smooth. Ultrasound examination requires inserting a clear catheter into the cervix and injecting liquid through the belly button or vagina for examination. This examination method is simple to operate, does not require anesthesia, and does not cause discomfort. However, it is not as accurate as the HSG check.
Method 3: Microwave treatment
As a relatively new method of detecting fallopian tubes, microwave therapy can also be used to treat fallopian tubes. During the treatment process, the patient needs to lie on the treatment bed and receive the microwave therapeutic device to activate cells in the patient\’s body through the fallopian tube to treat infertility. This detection method is more convenient and faster than the traditional fallopian tube detection method, has high accuracy, is simple to operate, and is painless.
Method 4: Egg retrieval
Egg retrieval is also a way to detect whether the fallopian tubes are blocked. Egg retrieval is generally used to assist artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization and other treatments. The doctor will anesthetize the patient and perform abdominal puncture to detect the fallopian tubes. However, egg retrieval may cause some complications, including internal organ damage, infection and other problems.
Summary
The above methods are currently commonly used methods for fallopian tube detection. Each method has different indications, advantages and disadvantages. By choosing a testing method that suits you, you can understand your physical condition more quickly, receive timely treatment, and better protect your health.
