How does fallopian tube blockage occur?

Patient's question:

How is fallopian tube blockage caused

Doctor's answer:

The causes of fallopian tube blockage are commonly as follows:
1. Inflammation of the fallopian tubes, especially post-abortion, postpartum, and postoperative infections. Severe appendicitis may also affect the fallopian tubes, leading to blockage.
2. Endometriosis and polyps can cause fallopian tube blockage. They are among the reasons for recurrent fallopian tube blockage.
3. Congenital fallopian tube developmental abnormalities, thinness, complete torsion, and dysfunction can all lead to fallopian tube blockage.
4. Tuberculosis that has been contracted but not treated can unknowingly affect the fallopian tubes, also causing blockage.
