Patient's question:
Yesterday, I called my high school classmate to chat. She said that a few days ago she felt unwell and had a detailed medical examination. She initially thought it wasn't a big deal, but the results showed that she had blocked fallopian tubes. She reminded me to be careful and suggested that I get a detailed check-up if I have time. After hearing this, I felt quite worried and wanted to consult about what to do in case of blocked fallopian tubes. Does blocked fallopian tubes affect menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Many people with blocked fallopian tubes don't experience any symptoms, but some patients with fallopian tube blockage may repeatedly have symptoms such as pain on one or both sides of the lower abdomen, a heavy feeling, increased secretions, and lower back pain. During menstruation, the amount of blood flow may continuously increase. Fallopian tube blockage is mainly caused by chronic inflammation of the fallopian tubes or abnormal development and growth of the fallopian tubes, among other factors. It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination with contrast imaging between the third and seventh days after menstruation to confirm the condition of the fallopian tubes and receive symptomatic treatment.Recommendation: It is best to consult a formal public hospital for a clear understanding before undergoing detailed examinations and treatment. Only by identifying the root cause can an effective individualized screening plan be formulated.
