What are the symptoms of fallopian tube blockage?

Patient's question:

I am a 86-year-old female and have been feeling quite tired lately. I feel that my body is not healthy, and I wonder if it could be this disease. Could you please tell me: What are the symptoms of fallopian tube blockage?

Doctor's answer:

Infertility due to blocked fallopian tubes can manifest with the following symptoms:
1. Abdominal discomfort. When fallopian tubes are blocked, lower abdominal pain may reappear to varying degrees, mostly in the form of subtle discomfort. This may include aching, swelling, and a heavy sensation in the lower back and sacral region. Symptoms often worsen due to overexertion.
2. Irregular menstruation. The fallopian tubes and ovaries are adjacent organs. Typically, diseases of the fallopian tubes do not affect ovarian function or menstrual volume. However, if inflammation spreads to the ovaries, harming their function, menstrual abnormalities may occur.
