Patient's question:
Since getting married, I haven't been pregnant. Do I need to check my fallopian tubes? What are the symptoms if the fallopian tubes are blocked? Is it easy to get blocked fallopian tubes by taking birth control pills frequently?Doctor's answer:
Long-term use of birth control pills can impair ovarian function, but it does not cause fallopian tube blockage. Fertilization is a very complex physiological process. It requires the fusion of sperm and egg to form a zygote, which then implants in the uterine cavity. In addition to having normal sperm, eggs, and an appropriate intrauterine environment, it is also a crucial step for sperm and eggs to meet and be successfully transported to the uterine cavity. This task is completed by the fallopian tubes. If the fallopian tubes are inflamed, leading to blockage, and sperm cannot meet the egg, resulting in infertility, this is referred to as tubal obstruction infertility.
