Patient's question:
What is the reason for blocked fallopian tubes? I have been trying to conceive for a long time but haven't been able to get pregnant. Recently, I went for a checkup and was told that my fallopian tubes are blocked. Is it serious? Please ask: How is adhesion of the fallopian tubes treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the fallopian tube is an underground channel that injects sperm, eggs, or fertilized eggs, which is an important part of conception. Tubal inflammation can be caused by congenital developmental abnormalities or postnatal inflammation, leading to tubal adhesion and blockage, or affecting the normal movement and patency of the fallopian tubes. This can impact the injection of eggs and the descent of sperm, preventing sperm and eggs from combining and causing infertility.Other causes include purulent, tuberculous, or gonococcal tubal inflammation, or other pelvic inflammatory diseases and endometriosis. Some ovarian tumors or uterine fibroids may also control or pull on the fallopian tubes, causing them to deform or become ectopic, all of which can lead to infertility.
Tubal adhesion can easily result in infertility. Long-term adhesion makes it difficult for sperm and egg cells to combine. Only a smooth and unobstructed fallopian tube may allow a woman to become pregnant.
