Laparoscopy and Dye Test: Checking Fallopian Tube Patency

Checking whether the fallopian tubes are open

This combined diagnostic procedure evaluates the pelvic organs while simultaneously testing whether the fallopian tubes are patent (open). A coloured dye is passed through the cervix and its flow through the tubes is observed directly via the laparoscope — a key investigation in the workup of infertility.

Why it's done

  • Investigating unexplained or prolonged infertility
  • Confirming tubal blockage suspected on other scans
  • Assessing pelvic anatomy alongside tubal function in one sitting

It is usually performed as a day-case procedure and gives immediate, reliable information to guide fertility treatment planning.
