How to check the patency of the fallopian tubes

The methods of treatment and diagnosis are constantly changing for the better, but despite this, the percentage of infertile women due to obstruction of the fallopian tubes is gradually increasing and approaching 50%!

Incorrect diagnosis of the infertility of fallopian tubes threatens women:

• with heavy worries and feelings;
• physiological disorders of the nervous system.

How the obstruction of the

fallopian tubes is checked In almost 90% of cases, the patency of the fallopian tubes is checked for its mechanical component.

Most often, obstruction of the fallopian tubes occurs when:

• is sexually infected;
• self-treatment at home.

The mechanical permeability of of the fallopian tubes may well be formed as a result of adhesive processes in the zone of suppressed infection.

Physiological obstruction almost always follows a mechanical one and does not require any separate diagnosis.

Nerve obstruction appears due to mental illnesses that occur in a woman long before her possible pregnancy( a woman is hospitalized in a department of psychiatry or neurology).

The only exception to the rule is sluggish schizophrenia.

One way to test the patency of the fallopian tubes is ultrasound.

This is a fairly safe, painless and simple method based on fixing an ultrasound echo.

There are several names for this method:

• sonography;
• sonogetherosalpingography;
• ultrasound metrosalpingography.

The method for checking the patency of the fallopian tubes by ultrasound should take place in this order:

• turnout to the gynecologist on the 7-12th day of menstruation;
• on an empty stomach;
• without obvious traces of sexual( or other) infections;
• normal body temperature.

Prevention of pregnancy before a visit to a gynecologist, is not necessary, because laboratory ultrasound studies do not harm the fetus.

First, the patient takes a smear for infection( suppressed and hidden).

Then the woman is located in an ordinary gynecological chair, and her saliva begins to receive saline.

The number and degree of pressure of this fluid in the abdominal cavity is a representation of the patency of( mechanical) fallopian tubes.

In doubtful cases, for an additional payment, it is possible to pass the procedure of kymoperturbation with inert gas.

However, all these actions( ultrasound and kymoperturbation) can determine the true obstruction of the fallopian tubes in only 90% of cases.

For more accurate examination, X-ray examination is prescribed.

In addition to the above measures to prepare for the passage of ultrasound, it is required to fulfill some additional requirements:

• to do cleaning of the intestine with a cleansing enema;
• requires mandatory protection from pregnancy during the period before the examination( X-rays can kill, maim, cause a mutation of the long-awaited fetus).

The X-ray procedure is performed using intrauterine injection of a special( barium salt) contrast agent.

X-ray can detect any mechanical damage in the fallopian tubes and make a final, accurate diagnosis.

The most complete comprehensive examination of the fallopian tubes is performed by the method of laparoscopy.

For this, it is required to go to hospital.

Nevertheless, on the second day you can get home.

But the house will have to lie down for a longer time( a few days, until a small incision on the woman's belly heals).

Through this small incision, during a laparoscopic examination, a special probe with micro-illuminators and a video system is inserted.

By the nature of the movement of the special fluid in the fallopian tubes, the specialist doctor immediately makes a final impression of the degree of damage to the fallopian tubes.

The only way to achieve a long-awaited pregnancy, with obstruction of the fallopian tubes is artificial( extracorporeal) fertilization.

In addition, you can try to remove the adhesions by surgical laparoscopy, but immediately have to notice, it's very difficult to find microsurgeons-virtuosos, and the price of this operation will be corresponding.

The effect of traditional medicine, in this case, is not confirmed by practical medical research.

Take our advice - watch your health and if there are suspicions about the obstruction of the fallopian tubes, do not waste time, and immediately run to your gynecologist.

Take care of yourself.
