Can traditional Chinese medicine detect blocked fallopian tubes by pulse diagnosis

Traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis generally cannot directly detect blocked fallopian tubes, but can assist in inferring reproductive system dysfunction by comprehensively analyzing the patient's constitution and qi and blood status through syndrome differentiation.

Traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis mainly judges the vitality of organs, qi and blood, and the smoothness of meridians through the pulse of the inch mouth. Tubal blockage belongs to organic lesions, and its pathological changes cannot be directly manifested through pulse. However, traditional Chinese medicine can infer the possible existence of qi and blood stasis, cold coagulation of the uterus, and other problems based on abnormal pulse conditions such as the astringent pulse and the sinking fine pulse, combined with clinical symptoms such as menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, and lower back pain. Such physical conditions are related to fallopian tube dysfunction to a certain extent. In response to such situations, traditional Chinese medicine often provides conditioning plans such as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, warming meridians and dispelling cold, such as modifying Shaofu Zhuyu Tang, and moxibustion at Guanyuan acupoint.

It should be clarified that the diagnosis of fallopian tube blockage must rely on modern imaging examinations. Laparoscopic imaging, ultrasound imaging and other techniques can visually display the morphology and patency of the fallopian tubes, while traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis focuses more on functional status assessment. For patients with difficulties in preparing for pregnancy, it is recommended to first complete a Western medicine fertility examination to clarify the cause. Traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation can be used as an auxiliary conditioning method to improve pelvic blood circulation and overall body condition. If there is long-term infertility or accompanied by severe dysmenorrhea, abnormal secretions, etc., it is necessary to seek medical attention in the reproductive medicine department or gynecology department in a timely manner, and make a clear diagnosis through tubal patency surgery, hysteroscopy and laparoscopy combined examination, etc. In daily life, it is advisable to apply hot compress to the waist and abdomen to avoid sitting for long periods of time and getting cold. Regular sleep patterns can help promote the circulation of qi and blood. During the preparation for pregnancy, it is recommended to combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine for diagnosis and treatment. Based on the identification of organic lesions, traditional Chinese medicine should be used to regulate and improve the probability of conception.
