What should I pay attention to after undergoing fallopian tube recanalization surgery?

After the fallopian tube recanalization surgery, various precautions cannot be ignored, because only by paying attention to care can you recover as soon as possible. Some antibiotics should be used after the surgery to prevent infection, and bathing in a tub is prohibited. Sexual intercourse is prohibited for two weeks after the surgery.

1. A small amount of vaginal bleeding and mild lower abdominal pain within one week after interventional treatment are normal if there is no other discomfort. If the amount of bleeding is more than the menstrual volume or there are other discomforts, you can contact our professional doctors through the message board of the online consultation office of the "China Fallopian Tube Professional Network". They will give you professional medical help.

2. It is generally required to try for pregnancy three months after surgery to prevent X-ray exposure from affecting the quality of the eggs. However, since the actual exposure time of fallopian tube interventional recanalization surgery to X-rays is only about 2 minutes, according to clinical observations, pregnancy in the first month after surgery does not increase the miscarriage rate and malformation rate of the fetus.

3. There is no need for consolidation treatment after surgery. The surgical operation technology and skills during interventional recanalization are the key to whether the recanalization can be successful and how the function can be recovered after the operation. Postoperative consolidation treatment will only increase the patient's infection, reduce the chance of pregnancy and increase their economic burden. After the interventional operation, there is no need for real drug treatment of the fallopian tube except for the short-term use of antibiotics to prevent infection.

4. If the menstruation is late or there is a possibility of pregnancy after the operation, an early pregnancy test should be carried out as soon as possible to determine whether the pregnancy is confirmed. If it is confirmed to be an early pregnancy, you should see a professional doctor as soon as possible to determine whether it is a normal intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy. No matter how well the repair is, it is not as good as not destroying it, and no matter how well the assembly is, it is not as good as the original one. In addition, there are certain non-tubal factors in ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, fallopian tube intervention recanalization cannot completely avoid the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy. However, for patients with bilateral obstruction of the interstitial and isthmus parts of the fallopian tubes, it is difficult to get pregnant naturally without artificial help. If the recanalization is done through interventional recanalization treatment, there is a chance of pregnancy, but it cannot completely avoid the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy.

Even for patients with unobstructed fallopian tubes on both sides, ectopic pregnancy cannot be completely avoided because there are certain non-fallopian tube factors that may cause it. Therefore, for patients who have undergone interventional recanalization treatment and have had successful recanalization, we usually advise them to have an ultrasound scan as soon as possible after they discover they are pregnant to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. However, according to clinical observations, the probability of ectopic pregnancy is very low after all.

5. If you still don’t get pregnant after six months of observation without taking any contraceptive measures, you can undergo another X-ray hysterosalpingography to understand the patency of the fallopian tubes after the operation.
