Question 1

fallopian tube punctured during selective hsg.  the dr. says it will almost always heal itself.  another dr. not so sure.  is this true or not?

Accepted Answer

Hard to know: Thankfully, this is not a common situation, so there aren't good studies available to know what the chances of healing afterward will be. Your doc might consider another (non-selective) hsg in a few months if you really want to know how your tubes healed. On the other hand, you may be better off leaving your tubes alone and just pursuing treatments to help you conceive (e.g. Iui or ivf) good luck!

Question 2

how long it take for fallopian tubes to heal or possibly grow back (recanalize) after a pomeroy tl? what type of suture is used during tl?

Accepted Answer

I don't know: One thing is true after a pomeroy prcedure it is possible that sperm can find there way across the cut segment or that the tubes will grow back. It is the number 1 procedure
for sterilization but not fool proof

Question 3

i have blocked fallopian tubes will any herbs help heal any inflammation on the fallopian tubes i do have hyrdosalpinx i really do not want my tubes out?

Accepted Answer

No herbs will help: There are no herbs, diet, and probably no medications that will help. Otherwise, this is much too complex for a useful reply on a distant forum. Keep working with your doctor(s). Good luck.

Question 4

i just had both my fallopian tubes removed. i have both ovaries. where the tubes were connected to the uterus, do they close that off or does it heal?

Accepted Answer

Yes . .: . . . closed off completely. You should have been provided with an illustration of how this is done. Best of luck.

Question 5

if you stop smoking can your fallopian tubes heal and undo blockage? i have had 3 etopic pregnancies none ruptured. have both tubes still.

Accepted Answer

It is Doubtful: Stopping smoking would benefit your health in many, many ways. Unfortunately, once fallopian tubes become narrowed or blocked by inflammation or scar tissue, this will probably not change just because you stopped smoking.

Question 6

what are side effects of uterine scarring after a myomectomy? can scarring heal on its own? can scarring cause infertility? can fallopian tubes be scarred after myomectomy and being opened during the operation?

Accepted Answer

Myomectomy ?'s: Myomectomy as any surgical procedure can cause scarring of injured tissue, and depending on where the scarring develops, may interfere with fertility. If your tubes were open during the myomectomy, you might need a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) to make sure they are still open: consult your gyn physician for appropriate testing.

Question 7

whats the typical cost to get fallopian tubes flushed?

Accepted Answer

: Costs for surgical procedures vary widely for state to state, office to office, Consult with a local physician to determine your responsibility.

Question 8

what are the fallopian tubes?

Accepted Answer

Fallopian tubes: Fallopian tubes are paired tubular structures, right and left, that connect the uterus to the pelvic cavity. The tube picks up an egg (oocyte) after ovulation at its far end and transports it down towards the uterus. If the woman had intercourse sperm swims through the uterus into the tube at the near end, when conception occurs it is in the mid-portion of the tube.

Question 9

how do you unclog fallopian tubes?

Accepted Answer

go to GYN: You might need to get a hysterosalpingography or uterosalpingography a radiologic procedure to investigate the patency of the tubes. An interventional radiologist can sometimes open the occluded tubes. Go to doctor to discuss options.

Question 10

can i get my fallopian tubes replaced?

Accepted Answer

No: You can sometime have them put back together or have a reanastomosis if their is enough tube left to perform that procedure.  It is hard to know if their is enough tube for sure prior to performing the surgery.  Need to consult with a specialist.  Also, you could consider IVF - this is very successful method to help achieve a pregnancy after having a tubal.  Hope this helps.
