Can long-term inflammation cause fallopian tube blockage?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor. Because I don't pay attention to hygiene and wear underwear that hasn't been sterilized, over time this has caused me to develop inflammation. Now my husband and I are planning to have a child, but I haven't been able to get pregnant and I'm afraid it might be due to blocked fallopian tubes. Could long-term inflammation lead to blocked fallopian tubes?

Doctor's answer:

This situation can lead to fallopian tube blockage, which is caused by certain inflammations. If the inflammation is not treated for a long time, the fallopian tubes will naturally become blocked. After the fallopian tubes are blocked, treatment can be performed through fallopian tube hydrotubation. However, for severe fallopian tube blockage, the pain during treatment can be quite intense, and doctors may decide to stop the procedure. In such cases, IVF (in vitro fertilization) can be used to alleviate the condition.
