Patient's question:
After several years of marriage, we have always been living in our own little world. We wanted to add a new member to our family and prepare to have a baby this year. But then the problem came up. During the pre-pregnancy check-up, it was found that I had blocked fallopian tubes, which made it very difficult to conceive. It was like a bolt from the blue. I had always kept myself pure, but I never expected to get this disease. What causes blocked fallopian tubes?Doctor's answer:
The causes of fallopian tube blockage are relatively numerous, such as surgical procedures, induced abortions, and medication-induced abortions. Due to the presence of residual endometrial or uterine lining tissue, which travels through the fallopian tubes to the pelvic cavity, inflammation may occur, leading to fallopian tube blockage. When there is frequent abnormal vaginal discharge, cervical fluid inflammation accompanied by endometrial inflammation, causing ascending infection, it can result in fallopian tube blockage. Intercourse during menstruation due to cross-infection can also lead to fallopian tube blockage. If fallopian tube blockage occurs, it is important to seek active treatment to avoid ectopic pregnancy caused by prolonged blockage, which can also affect future fertility.
