Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for many years, and we have not taken any contraceptive measures, but we have never been able to conceive. After checking at the hospital, we found that the fallopian tubes are blocked. What are the causes of fallopian tube blockage? Why do people get blocked fallopian tubes?Doctor's answer:
Tubal blockage is one of the most common causes of female infertility, primarily divided into primary and secondary tubal blockage. Primary tubal blockage refers to congenital conditions, existing from birth. Secondary tubal blockage is caused by acquired factors, such as tubal inflammation and pelvic peritonitis. Untreated or chronic vaginal infections, cervical inflammation, endometritis, pelvic inflammation, sexually transmitted diseases, and other conditions can lead to tubal inflammation, which destroys the mucous membrane of the fallopian tubes, forming scars and adhesions. This can result in narrowing or blockage of the fallopian tube lumen.
