Fallopian tube blockages can occur in different parts of the tube, affecting a woman’s ability to conceive. Blockages can prevent eggs from reaching the uterus or sperm from reaching the egg, leading to fertility issues. The location of the blockage is crucial in determining both the cause and the treatment 👇🏾

✴️ Proximal: Near the uterus, where the fallopian tube begins. 

✴️ Medial: Found in the middle section of the tube, often caused by scarring or inflammation. 

✴️ Distal: Located near the end of the tube, close to the ovaries and fimbriae.

As we age, our bones naturally lose mass, which can lead to osteoporosis — a condition where bones become fragile and more likely to fracture. Testing bone density is essential for detecting early signs of bone loss, particularly in women, who are at higher risk as they age. A bone density test or DEXA scan, helps assess the strength and health of your bones, allowing for early intervention and treatment if needed.

Gynaecological imaging plays a vital role in understanding women’s reproductive health. These studies include transabdominal and transvaginal pelvic ultrasounds, which provide detailed views of reproductive organs. There are also pelvic floor ultrasounds to evaluate urinary incontinence and prolapse, along with specialised deep endometriosis ultrasounds. These imaging methods are crucial for diagnosing various conditions, ensuring women receive accurate assessments and tailored treatment options for optimal reproductive health.
