Patient's question:
I have been married to my husband for almost 5 years, and we have been trying to have a baby but haven't been able to conceive. Before getting married, we had a thorough pre-marital health check, and both of us were found to be healthy. As time passed, I later went to the hospital for a check-up and found that both of my fallopian tubes were blocked. I would like to consult if surgery is necessary.Doctor's answer:
Bilateral fallopian tube blockage affects the normal release of eggs, leading to infertility. To conceive, the fallopian tubes must be cleared. This condition is often suitable for surgical treatment, as fallopian tube blockage is usually caused by inflammation-induced adhesions in the inner wall of the tubes. Medication can only provide anti-inflammatory treatment and cannot remove residual tissue in the inner wall. Surgical treatment can address this issue and also prevent future blockages. The recurrence of fallopian tube blockage poses serious health risks to women. During treatment, it is crucial to avoid sexual intercourse and maintain good personal hygiene.
