Patient's question:
Sister has wanted to have a child for a long time, but she hasn't been able to get pregnant. The doctor suggested that she have a hysterosalpingogram. However, the report from the hysterosalpingogram indicated that there was a blockage in the lower passage of one fallopian tube. Is this a sign that she won't be able to get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Women have two fallopian tubes. If one fallopian tube is blocked, as long as the other is open, it is still possible to get pregnant, although the chances are relatively lower. However, in this case, it is recommended that your sister seek timely symptomatic treatment. Additionally, actively identify the cause of the blockage and undergo targeted treatment. Otherwise, it is easy for the other tube to become blocked as well, which could lead to infertility.
