Patient's question:
What are the effects of fallopian tube blockage? What should be done if the tubes are blocked? I have been trying to have a child for three months.Doctor's answer:
The hazards of fallopian tube blockage mainly include the following points:1. Dysmenorrhea: Congestion in the pelvic cavity leads to congestive dysmenorrhea. This usually begins one week before menstruation, accompanied by abdominal pain. Dysmenorrhea is also caused by fallopian tube blockage.
2. Uncomfortable symptoms: Fallopian tube blockage rarely presents with any clinical symptoms or signs. Some patients with blocked fallopian tubes may experience pain or a heavy sensation on one or both sides of the lower abdomen, excessive discharge, lower back pain, or an increase in menstrual volume. These symptoms are easily confused with other gynecological diseases. Therefore, if women experience the above discomforts, they should seek medical examination for early detection and treatment.
3. Infertility: Fallopian tube blockage affects the combination of sperm and eggs, preventing the formation of a zygote or the normal implantation of a fertilized egg, which can lead to infertility.
4. Ectopic pregnancy: When fallopian tubes are blocked, the fertilized egg cannot reach the uterus for implantation. Instead, it may settle in the fallopian tube, forming an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy can be life-threatening, so fallopian tube blockage requires special attention.
