How to tell if you have fallopian tube obstruction?
The fallopian tube has an important function. It is responsible for transporting eggs to the uterus. If there is a problem with the fallopian tube, it will affect a woman\’s fertility. Fallopian tube obstruction is one of the leading causes of female infertility, so it\’s important to know if you have it. This article will introduce the methods of judging fallopian tube obstruction from four aspects.
Observe symptoms
The symptoms of fallopian tube obstruction are not obvious, but some patients may experience symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, waist pain, and irregular menstruation. If these symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. In addition, some patients may experience symptoms such as abnormal vaginal discharge and dysmenorrhea.
Carry out B-ultrasound examination
B-ultrasound examination is a common method to detect fallopian tube obstruction. This examination can clearly show the condition of the fallopian tubes, including the patency of the fallopian tubes and whether there is water accumulation in the fallopian tubes. At the same time, B-ultrasound examination is a non-invasive examination method that does no harm to the body.
Perform salpingography
Salpingography is a relatively accurate method of detecting blocked fallopian tubes. This method needs to be performed in the hospital. The doctor will insert a thin tube into the vagina, inject contrast agent, and then take X-rays or perform an ultrasound examination. This examination method can clearly show the condition of the fallopian tubes, especially whether there is blockage or water accumulation. However, salpingography has certain stimulating effects on the body, so attention must be paid to physical safety.
Perform fallopian endoscopy
Salpingoscopy is a visual method of detecting blockage in the fallopian tubes. This method is performed in the operating room. The doctor inserts a thin tube into the lining of the uterus, then through the fallopian tube and into the abdominal cavity, and then performs an examination. Falloposcopy can clearly see the condition of the fallopian tubes, especially whether they are blocked and have inflammation. However, fallopian endoscopy can cause certain harm to the body, so attention must be paid to physical safety.
Summary
Fallopian tube obstruction is one of the leading causes of female infertility, so it\’s important to know if you have it. This article introduces four commonly used examination methods, including observation of symptoms, B-ultrasound examination, salpingography and salpingoscopy. Different examination methods have different advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the appropriate examination method according to your own situation and timely detecting and treating fallopian tube obstruction are very important to protect women\’s health and fertility.
