Patient's question:
Can fallopian tubes still be treated if they are blocked? I discovered that both of my fallopian tubes are blocked, and I plan to go to the hospital for proper treatment. Why are blocked fallopian tubes prone to infertility? Can you demonstrate this? Can fallopian tubes still be treated if they are blocked?Doctor's answer:
The fallopian tube plays a crucial role in transporting sperm, capturing eggs, and moving the fertilized egg to the uterine cavity. If the fallopian tube is blocked, it obstructs the passage of sperm and the fertilized egg, leading to infertility or ectopic pregnancy. Fallopian tube blockage is the most common cause of female infertility. The main causes of fallopian tube blockage are: infection and adhesion. 1 Most fallopian tube diseases are caused by infection, especially pelvic inflammatory disease. Other possible causes of infection include: appendix perforation, post-abortion infection, or postoperative complications such as endometriosis, surgical-induced inflammatory conditions. Adhesion can also lead to difficulties in the fallopian tube's passage.
