Patient's question:
I have been trying to conceive for a long time but haven't been able to get pregnant. Recently, I went for a check-up and was told that my fallopian tubes are blocked. Is that serious? Do blocked fallopian tubes require treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hello, is it necessary to treat fallopian tube blockage? The fallopian tubes play an important role in transporting sperm, absorbing eggs, and moving the fertilized egg to the uterine cavity. Fallopian tube blockage obstructs the passage of sperm and fertilized eggs, leading to infertility or ectopic pregnancy. Treatment for fallopian tube blockage should be implemented based on the location of the blockage. Blockages in the interstitial part, isthmus, ampulla, or fimbriae of the fallopian tubes. In clinical diagnosis, because the location and severity of fallopian tube blockage vary, the treatment methods also differ. It is still recommended to go to the hospital for an imaging examination to determine the location and degree of the blockage beforehand, so that targeted treatment can be provided. The first step in treating infertility is to identify the cause.
