What are the causes of fallopian tube blockage?

Patient's question:

Hello! What causes fallopian tube blockage?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the common causes of fallopian tube blockage are primary and secondary.
1. Secondary fallopian tube blockage, which is caused by acquired factors, is very common. It is due to certain disease factors and human-related factors and is the main cause of fallopian tube blockage. Secondary causes are divided into mechanical and pathological.
2. Primary fallopian tube blockage, which is congenital and present from birth, is extremely rare. Additionally, some pathogenic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, or Neisseria gonorrhoeae, can spread from the vagina, cervix, or uterus to the fallopian tubes or pelvic cavity, causing pelvic peritonitis and severe systemic infection. In China, there are also reports of trichomoniasis causing inflammation. Post-abortion acute pelvic and fallopian tube are also frequently observed.
