What is the difference between having scarred and blocked Fallopian tubes?

Would a pelvic ultrasound show blocked fallopian tubes?

  • i had a pelvic ultrasound as i was having irregular periods (and very heavy) it showed my ovaries were fine but would the ultrasound show if my fallopian tubes were blocked? as that was not mentioned at all ?

  • Answer:

    An ultrasound won't, as the tubes are too tiny. However a HSG test, where dye is injected into the fallopian tubes then monitored to see if it can flow freely through them, or an operation called a laproscopy, can both diagnose blocked fallopian tubes.

No! Blocked tubes are usually diagnosed with a specialized x-ray, called a hysterosalpingogram, or HSG. This test involves placing a dye through the cervix, using a tiny tube. Once the dye has been given, the doctor will take x-rays of your pelvic area.

No, they have a different test (hysterosalpingogram) for blocked fallopian tubes. That involves an x-ray and dye, and shows even tiny blockages.

No, an ultrasound will not tell you anything about your tubes. You will need a hysterosalpingogram to see if your tubes are open or blocked, or a saline test (similar). Some fertility specialists prefer to do laparoscopic surgery. Your doctor will have all the details.

If it was bad yes. You would also get a lot of pain. All the best x
