Patient's question:
We are planning to have a baby, but after trying to conceive for a long time, we haven't been able to get pregnant. After a check-up, it was found that our fallopian tubes are blocked, and we need to have surgery. However, we've heard that this surgery can be quite painful, so we want to ask if opening the fallopian tubes will be especially painful?Doctor's answer:
The fallopian tubes and other organs are physically insensitive but very sensitive to chemical influences. If it's a physical impact, the pain sensation will never be severe, whereas fallopian tube is a chemical impact with slightly heavier pain sensation. During surgery, the liquid is filled exactly, which has almost no effect on the uterus. The fallopian tubes, like other hollow organs, are composed of mucous membrane layer, muscle layer, and serous layer from the inside out. Most nerves are arranged in the muscle layer, and only a few nerves penetrate into the fallopian tube mucous membrane. The mucous membrane layer is insensitive to pain.
