Patient's question:
Twenty-eight years old, female, fallopian tube blockage. I have been trying to conceive for a long time but have not been pregnant. Recently, I went for a check-up and was told that my fallopian tubes are blocked. Is it serious? Please ask: What are the common symptoms of fallopian tube blockage?Doctor's answer:
If there are no clinical manifestations of fallopian tube blockage, the most common symptom is infertility. The fallopian tubes play a crucial role in transporting sperm, absorbing eggs, and moving the fertilized egg to the uterine cavity. Fallopian tube blockage hinders the passage of sperm and fertilized eggs, leading to infertility or ectopic pregnancy. This is usually detected through hydrotubation or contrast imaging. The best treatment for blockage in the interstitial or isthmus part of the fallopian tube is tubal intervention for recanalization. There is no effective treatment for obstruction in the ampulla of the fallopian tube, and in vitro fertilization (IVF) can be considered.
