Patient's question:
My husband and I have been wanting a child since the beginning of this year, so we haven't been using any contraception. However, after more than a year, we haven't conceived, so we both underwent thorough medical examinations. It was found that my left fallopian tube is blocked, which greatly reduces my chances of getting pregnant. What should I do about the blocked left fallopian tube?Doctor's answer:
Your left fallopian tube is blocked, which increases the chances of pregnancy relatively, by about 50%. Currently, you have two solutions. The first is to wait until your right ovary menopauses and then have intercourse, which can enhance your fertility rate. Another option is to consider laparoscopic examination and surgical treatment, which may potentially open up your left fallopian tube and reduce your fertility rate.
