Can women with blocked fallopian tubes get pregnant?

Patient's question:

Got married for two or three years without taking any contraceptive measures, but still haven't been able to get pregnant. Can fallopian tube blockage prevent pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

The fallopian tubes on both sides of the lady are cross-ectopic, so as long as one side is unobstructed, she can get pregnant. Generally, the eggs released by the ovaries are waiting in the ampulla of the fallopian tube for fertilization by sperm. Sperm entering the vagina through the cervix reaches the uterine cavity, and then enters the ampulla of the fallopian tube from the uterine cavity. If the fallopian tubes are not unobstructed, this process cannot be completed smoothly, leading to fertilization failure and resulting in infertility. Surgical treatment to open up the fallopian tubes can be performed.
