Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and so far, we haven't had any children. I'm very anxious about it and don't know if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm afraid my condition will worsen. What are the common causes of fallopian tube blockage?Doctor's answer:
Gynecological Infections: Such as vaginitis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), tubo-ovarian abscess, and appendicitis, are often caused by these gynecological infections not being relieved promptly or adequately, leading to persistent and unresolved conditions. Due to long-term inflammatory stimulation, the fallopian tubes become congested, edematous, thickened, hardened, and the lumen becomes adhesive, narrowed, and eventually blocked, resulting in tubal obstruction infertility.2) Induced Abortion: Induced abortion surgery is a primary cause of fallopian tube obstruction. During the procedure, mechanical effects, improper operation, or incomplete miscarriage, among other reasons, often lead to secondary infections in women. As various pathogenic bacteria infiltrate and spread from the uterus to the pelvic cavity and fallopian tubes, recurrent infections occur, leading to tubal blockage. Tubal blockage is an easily occurring gynecological condition.
