Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for many years, and we have never used any form of contraception, but we have never been able to conceive. After checking at the hospital, we found that my fallopian tubes are blocked. What could be the reason for this? What are the hazards of blocked fallopian tubes?Doctor's answer:
Tubal blockage is not affected by age; women of childbearing age can all be affected. Once it occurs, it poses significant harm to women, mainly including the following aspects:1. Infertility, tubal blockage is a common cause of female infertility with a high incidence rate, accounting for about 50% of all cases. The fallopian tubes are where sperm and eggs combine. If the tubes are blocked, sperm and eggs cannot merge to form a fertilized egg, leading to female infertility.
2. Ectopic pregnancy, when the fallopian tubes narrow or become blocked again, it makes it difficult for the fertilized egg to move through the tubes. Since the location of the blockage or narrowing varies among patients, the fertilized egg may implant outside the uterine cavity.
