Patient's question:
I have been married for several years and have not been able to get pregnant. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with blocked fallopian tubes. What are the causes of blocked fallopian tubes?Doctor's answer:
Tubal blockage is a common cause of infertility, accounting for one-third of infertile patients, and has shown a gradual increasing trend in recent years, making it a challenging issue in the treatment of infertility. Tubal blockage is primarily caused by inflammation spreading from the endometrium upwards, first leading to inflammatory changes in the tubal mucosa. This results in regressive changes or patchy shedding of the tubal epithelium, causing tubal mucosal adhesion, followed by self-locking of the tubal lumen or fimbriae. The most important aspect of treating infertility caused by tubal blockage is to decide on a formal hospital and adopt a scientific therapeutic approach.
