Patient's question:
Over the years, my husband and I have been trying to conceive, but haven't been successful. Recently, I took the time to visit the hospital for a check-up. My husband had no issues, but they said my fallopian tubes are blocked. I'm asking: How can I prevent fallopian tube blockage?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many reasons that can lead to fallopian tube blockage, such as vaginitis, cervicitis, endometritis, ovarian diseases, appendicitis, downward transmission of pathogens from tuberculosis, multiple induced abortions, uterine clearance operations, and other intrauterine procedures that cause secondary inflammation of the fallopian tubes, leading to blockage. Coitus during menstruation, abdominal surgery, and other factors can also lead to the recurrence of fallopian tube inflammation, resulting in blockage. Blockage can easily lead to infertility. If you have normal sexual activity and have not conceived for less than a year, you can go to the hospital for a fallopian tube examination. The fallopian tube examination should be performed 3-7 days after the menstrual period is clean. It is also important to strictly prohibit sexual activity 3 days before the surgery to prevent infection. If there is a blockage, it will be necessary to undergo a hydrotubation treatment.
