What is a tubal blockage?
Tubal blockage refers to the obstruction or blockage of the fallopian tubes. The fallopian tubes play an important role in fertility by transporting eggs and they are the main site where fertilisation occurs, and if they are blocked, it can prevent fertilization from occurring.
How do we diagnose Tubal Blockage?
Tubal blockage can be diagnosed in 4 ways: a) HSG, b) Laparoscopy, c) Ultrasound scan
d) Sonohysterography.
- Hysterosalpingography (HSG): A dye is injected into the uterus and an X-ray is taken to check is the dye flows through the fallopian tubes. If the dye is blocked in the fallopian tube, it indicates a tubal blockage.
- Laparoscopy: In this, a dye is injected into the uterus and we can directly see if there is a spillage of dye in the abdomen or not. This is a gold standard procedure to know about a tubal block and the site of the block. This can be both diagnostic and therapeutic as we can correct the block if possible.
- Ultrasound: Saline is injected into the uterus and we can see on USG if there is an accumulation of fluid in the abdomen (this means tubes are open).
- Sonohysterography: Another effective method, involves injecting saline into the uterus and using ultrasound to identify abnormalities or blockages.
