Does cervical inflammation lead to fallopian tube blockage?

Patient's question:

Because of the blocked fallopian tubes, I haven't been able to get pregnant and want to consult if cervical inflammation can cause blocked fallopian tubes?

Doctor's answer:

Cervicitis refers to acute or chronic inflammation of the cervix caused by the transmission of pathogens. The main pathogens include Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, and mycoplasma infections in the genital tract. If cervicitis does not lead to pelvic inflammatory disease through downward transmission, it generally will not cause fallopian tube blockage. However, if cervicitis is not treated promptly, leading to downward transmission and resulting in pelvic inflammatory disease, it can cause fallopian tube blockage.
