FAIRFAX, Va., June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A simple diagnostic procedure, followed by an interventional radiology treatment known as fallopian tube recanalization, could allow a high percentage of women struggling with infertility from blocked fallopian tubes to conceive with less involved or, in some cases, no further invasive fertility procedures, according to new research presented at the Society of Interventional Radiology Annual Scientific Meeting. Researchers said that most women with with blocked fallopian tubes could have their condition easily corrected.
Key Points:
- "This procedure and treatment can help women make an informed decision about infertility treatments.
- "As women increasingly desire more thorough discussions of available options and input into their medical care, they appreciate detailed information to help them make choices.
- The women then underwent a selective salpingography to confirm their HSG diagnosis and, if needed, underwent fallopian tube recanalization.
- "Fertility treatments can be expensive and out of reach for many women," he said.
