Can mycoplasma cause fallopian tube blockage?

Patient's question:

Two years after the divorce, I finally started living a good life for myself. I was always having fun every day. Later, my husband said, "Honey, let's have a child for fun." But now, after almost a year, I still can't get pregnant. The hospital did a thorough check and said it's due to mycoplasma infection and blocked fallopian tubes. Can't we have children anymore? There's nothing we can do.

Doctor's answer:

Tubal blockage is a common cause of infertility, and it is divided into primary and secondary tubal blockage. Primary tubal blockage refers to congenital blockage, which is extremely rare. Secondary tubal blockage is caused by factors resulting from acquired conditions, often due to various infectious diseases that lead to tubal blockage. The most common cause of tubal blockage is pathological obstruction. Pathological blockage is mostly caused by tubal inflammation, such as mycoplasma and chlamydia, which affect the fallopian tubes, leading to recurrent inflammatory lesions. This manifests as fibrosis of the interstitial connective tissue in the tubal wall, causing the tube wall to thicken and harden, the tube body to become thicker, and the lumen to become blocked.
