Patient's question:
My girlfriend had half of her fallopian tubes removed for many reasons in the past. Now we are preparing to get pregnant and get married. We have been trying to conceive for a year and haven't been able to. Is it because her fallopian tubes were removed? If half of her fallopian tubes were removed, does that mean her chances of getting pregnant are only 50%?Doctor's answer:
A fallopian tube was removed on one side, and the other fallopian tube remains. If it is unobstructed, there is still a possibility of getting pregnant. Compared to both fallopian tubes being unobstructed, the chances of getting pregnant would be significantly lower. However, as long as menstruation is normal and the healthy side's fallopian tube is unobstructed, there is still a possibility of getting pregnant. However, it is likely that the time required for conception will be much longer. If you are not reassured, you can go to the hospital for a fallopian tube hydrotubation. As long as this side's fallopian tube is unobstructed and menstruation is normal, you can let nature take its course or monitor the follicular condition at regular intervals.
