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 fallopian tube blockage?Doctor's answer:
The main reasons leading to fallopian tube blockage are:1. Inflammation of the fallopian tubes, especially infections after childbirth, postpartum, or surgery. Severe appendicitis may also affect the fallopian tubes, causing them to become obstructed.
2. Endometriosis and polyps can both lead to fallopian tube blockage.
3. Having had tuberculosis without complete treatment can also inadvertently interfere with the fallopian tubes, resulting in blockage.
4. Congenital developmental abnormalities of the fallopian tubes, such as being too thin, completely twisted, or dysfunctional.
