Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and so far, we don't have any children. I'm also 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 might worsen. Could you please tell me what are the common causes of female fallopian tube blockage?Doctor's answer:
Postoperative infection after gynecological surgery, including induced abortion, intrauterine device insertion or removal, fallopian tube hydrotubation, fallopian tube, endometrial polypectomy, or submucosal uterine fibroid removal, can occur if sterilization is not strict or if there is existing chronic inflammation of the reproductive system. Postoperative infection can also be caused by patients neglecting personal hygiene or engaging in sexual activity without following medical advice after surgery, leading to bacterial descent and pelvic inflammatory disease.Postpartum or post-abortion infection: Patients who have given birth or experienced a miscarriage may have a weakened constitution, and the cervix may still be open after dilation without being properly sealed. Bacteria present in the vagina and cervix may descend and infect the pelvic cavity. If there are remnants of the placenta or fetal membrane in the uterine cavity, the risk of infection is even higher.
