Global InformationChromopertubation information
Chromopertubation is a method for the study of fallopian tube patency (a state of being open or unobstructed) for suspected infertility in women caused by fallopian tube obstruction. Occlusion or pathology of the fallopian tubes is the most common cause of suspected infertility.[1] Chromopertubation is sometimes commonly referred to a "laparoscopy and dye" test.[2] It is currently one of the standard procedures in this field.[3] In most cases, chromopertubation is performed to assess and determine the cause of someone's difficulties in getting pregnant.[4]
