Disease description:

I have infertility, but there are many causes of infertility, the most common being blocked fallopian tubes. This condition poses serious health risks to women and needs to be treated as soon as possible. So, what tests are used to check for blocked fallopian tubes?

The most common methods for evaluating tubal obstruction are hysterosalpingography or fluid flow tests of the fallopian tubes. Tubal lesions, pelvic adhesions, pelvic inflammatory disease, and its sequelae can all lead to tubal blockage. Bilateral complete tubal obstruction may result in infertility; if fertility is desired, medical and physical therapies can be administered. Surgical intervention is also an option when indicated. Endometrial abnormalities due to ovulatory disorders or ovarian dysfunction, as well as genital tract infections, may also contribute to infertility. Patients are advised to visit a hospital to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment, with assisted reproductive technologies provided when necessary.
