Patient's question:
How can I check if my fallopian tubes are blocked? My husband and I have been married for 3 years. Since we got married, we have always wanted a baby, so we never used any form of contraception. But so far this year, we haven't been able to get pregnant. It's really urgent. Usually, infertility is caused by blocked fallopian tubes. I want to check if my fallopian tubes are blocked. How should I do it? How can fallopian tube blockage be checked? What causes it?Doctor's answer:
How can fallopian tube blockage be checked? The fallopian tubes are divided into four parts from inside to outside based on their morphology: the isthmus, ampulla, infundibulum, and fimbriae. Clinically, 80% of infertility cases are caused by fallopian tube factors. Fallopian tube blockage is often caused by artificial abortion, spontaneous abortion, medication-induced abortion, induced abortion, unsafe sex, and pelvic infection, leading to adhesion, congestion, and edema of the fallopian tube wall, which blocks the tubes and prevents sperm from fertilizing the egg, ultimately resulting in infertility.
