Does fallopian tube blockage affect pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I get my period normally every month, but the doctor said I have a slight fallopian tube blockage. Will this affect pregnancy? Since the fallopian tubes are blocked, why can I still have my period?

Doctor's answer:

Fallopian tube blockage can easily affect the chances of pregnancy before conception, potentially leading to infertility. However, after pregnancy, it generally does not affect the fetal growth and development. However, if conditions such as adnexitis, tubitis, or fluid accumulation exist, they may cause endometritis, affecting fetal development and leading to issues like miscarriage or premature birth.
