How to increase chances of conception after removing ovarian cysts?
Patient: Hi, My wife has endometrial cyst(chocolate) in both the ovaries. It has been removed by the doctors. Though I know that this type of cysts generally have Fallopian tubes blockage problems. In the discharge report, the hospital has only given in writing that the blockage was not present, the reason of given in plain paper , they mention that , the medi-claim will not be settled , if this will be a part of all the reports. After the operation we are regularly in check with doctors and everything seems normal, but she is unable to conceive after 1-1/2 years of effort. The doctors are now suggesting 2 cycles of IUI. I have too much doubt on Fallopian tubes blockage. Please guide me. Doctor: Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. You concerns about tubal blockage can be answered by a diagnostic test called hysterosalpingography which shows any blockages in the tubes. In this procedure dye will be injected in to the uterus and and x ray of pelvis will be taken to see whether drug spills out from the uterus. If it spills out it indicates tubes are patent and if not on the side where there is no spillage, there is a block of tube which will be evident on the x-ray film.  If tubes are patent you check for ovulation whether it is occuring or not and growth of the follicles which is called follicular study. If ovulation occurs and tubes are patent chances of conception are good. Hope this is helpful to you. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Sushma Dubbaka
