Patient's question:
After several years of marriage, we have always been living in our own little world. We wanted to add a member to our family and planned to have a baby this year. However, a problem arose. During the pre-pregnancy checkup, I was found to have blocked fallopian tubes, making it very difficult to conceive. It was as if a bolt from the blue. I had always been chaste, never imagining I would get this disease. What causes blocked fallopian tubes?Doctor's answer:
Many women with blocked fallopian tubes have no obvious symptoms, and many are discovered to have blocked fallopian tubes due to infertility. The main cause of fallopian tube damage is pelvic inflammation, which is an infection. Most fallopian tube diseases are secondary to infections, especially pelvic inflammatory disease. Other possible causes of infection include incisions from appendicitis, infections after miscarriage, or complications after surgery, as well as inflammation and adhesions. Tissue trauma caused by surgical procedures may also lead to fallopian tube blockage.
