Patient's question:
Hello, doctor. I had surgery before, and one of my fallopian tubes was removed. I am now 36 years old, and I already had a child two years ago. I still want to have another one, but I don't know if I can still get pregnant after the surgery, so I came to ask the doctor.Doctor's answer:
Women who have had a unilateral tubal resection still have the opportunity to become pregnant, although the chances of pregnancy increase relatively. The ovaries on both sides of the female body will release mature eggs alternately during different menstrual cycles. When a unilateral tubal resection occurs, the egg released by the affected ovary cannot be successfully fertilized, which naturally increases the chances of pregnancy for the woman. However, as long as the contralateral fallopian tube is completely unobstructed, the egg released by the opposite ovary has the opportunity to be fertilized and lead to pregnancy.
