Patient's question:
What should be carefully checked for fallopian tube blockage? What should be carefully checked for fallopian tube blockage, and what are the causes? What should be carefully checked for fallopian tube blockageDoctor's answer:
Tubal blockage is primarily caused by infectious inflammation leading to tubal adhesion. However, infectious inflammation is often transient and short-term. In contrast, the adhesion caused by inflammation is permanent. Nearly 100% of tubal adhesions are discovered during infertility examinations after marriage. Abortion is the main cause of tubal blockage. During induced abortion, mechanical or drug stimulation causes strong, tonic contractions of the uterine smooth muscle. The contents of the uterine cavity not only move rapidly toward the cervix but also enter the fallopian tube lumen. Tissues entering the fallopian tube lumen can easily become lodged and organized. If the fallopian tube lumen is completely blocked, it results in infertility. If it leads to partial blockage, the fallopian tubes may become obstructed, increasing the risk of ectopic pregnancy.
