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 very afraid that my condition might worsen. I've been diagnosed with blocked fallopian tubes. What could be the reason for this? Is there a way to treat it? What is the cost of treating blocked fallopian tubes?Doctor's answer:
The location of the fallopian tubes is generally within the pelvic cavity of the human body. Most people have two fallopian tubes, with one on each side of the uterus. They extend outward from the outer angle of the uterine fundus, moving parallel, first reaching the uterine end of the ovary, and then ascending along the mesosalpinx margin to the tubal end of the ovary. The majority of fallopian tube diseases are secondary to infections, particularly pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Other possible causes of infection include appendicitis rupture, post-abortion infection, or postoperative complications such as endometriosis and surgical-induced inflammatory states, which may lead to fallopian tube blockage due to adhesions. You need to seek treatment at a formal infertility hospital.
