Does follicular study show blocked fallopian tubes?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

A follicular study can not determine whether the fallopian tube is blocked. If the fallopian tube is blocked, you will still ovulate. Ovulation is mainly the function of ovary.

  1. Follicular Study

    • A follicular study is an ultrasound test that tracks ovarian follicle development and assesses ovulation.
    • It does not indicate if fallopian tubes are blocked.
  2. Tests for Blocked Fallopian Tubes

    • Hysterosalpingography (HSG): Uses X-rays and dye to check tube openness.
    • Sonohysterography: Utilizes ultrasound with fluid for assessment.
  3. Recommendation

    • Discuss specific tests with your gynecologist for personalized guidance based on your symptoms and medical history.

I've had a lump in my right breast, around 35 cm, slightly toward the lower side, for about 5 years now. Tried homeopathy but didn't see much improvement. Got a mammogram in 2017 which showed it's a fibroadenoma, and the doctor advised removing it soon, but I'm not keen on surgery. Can it be treated with medication instead? If not, what could happen if I leave it since it doesn't bother me much just occasional mild pain during my period. Also, my periods have been irregular for the past 23 months, sometimes late by 2-3 days or up to a week, but recently it was two weeks late. Could this be related to the lump? Should I be worried?

Long-standing fibroadenoma usually needs surgical removal if symptomatic; medications don’t shrink it, and leaving it may risk growth or discomfort, though not typically linked to periods.

My mom has been bleeding non-stop for the past 8 days and the doctor prescribed Ovral L and methergin. Her sonography report says she has an anteverted bulky uterus measuring 12.48.36.1cm with 14.7mm endometrial thickness. There's also a 4.03.7cm intramural hypoechoic lesion and multiple small follicles in both ovaries. Is surgery the only option or can this be managed with medication?

Endometrial biopsy required. After that treatment can be decided.
