Hydrotubation and Fertility in Women Over 45: Risks & Effectiveness

While hydrotubation has been used in the past to try to improve fertility, its effectiveness is controversial and some studies have not shown a clear benefit. Furthermore, there are some potential risks associated with hydrotubation, such as pelvic infection and damage to the fallopian tubes.

In general, hydrotubation is not recommended for women over 40 years of age, as the chances of success are low and the risks are higher. For women in this age group who are struggling to conceive, it is better to talk to a fertility specialist about other options that may have a higher chance of success and carry less risk.
