Contemporary female friends are paying more and more attention to their physical health, so they regularly go to the hospital to check their physical condition every year. However, not all women can have a definite understanding of physical examinations. Some people may not even fully understand, so can an ultrasound see the fallopian tubes?
Abdominal ultrasound generally does not show the fallopian tubes, which are close to the ovaries. There is no clear boundary under abdominal ultrasound, so it is difficult to see the fallopian tubes clearly. However, transvaginal ultrasound can be used to monitor the fallopian tubes, especially when the tubes are congested, swollen, significantly thickened, suffer from tubal inflammation, or ectopic pregnancy, it can be seen more clearly. Therefore, vaginal ultrasound is widely used in the field of obstetrics and gynecology, and its own advantages are significant.
For some obese women, due to the enlargement of the subcutaneous fat layer in the abdomen, abdominal ultrasound examination affects the display of images, making them more blurry. Transvaginal ultrasound can alleviate this problem by directly seeing the cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries through the vagina, which is more advantageous in the diagnosis of early pregnancy and early ectopic pregnancy.
If you want to see if the fallopian tubes are blocked, you need to do other tests, such as hydrosalpinx. This test involves inserting a tube into the subject's uterine cavity and injecting 20ml of medication through the tube. The medication is usually saline and antibiotics. The specific examination process can be consulted with a doctor at the hospital.
