Patient's question:
After getting married, I have never been able to get pregnant. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said that my fallopian tubes were slightly blocked, which is a major reason for my infertility. I haven't had any other discomforts, except for occasional cramps in my lower abdomen, which might be related to my fallopian tubes.Doctor's answer:
The fallopian tubes are located in the pelvic cavity of the human body. Generally, a person has two fallopian tubes, one on each side (left and right). They are situated near the uterus (uterus), with each tube originating from the outer lateral angle of the uterine fundus and extending outward in parallel. They first reach the uterine end of the ovary (ovary), then travel along the mesosalpinx margin upward to the tubal end of the ovary, forming an arch-like structure that covers the ovary. Subsequently, they descend and move inward, terminating at the free margin and the upper inner surface of the ovary. The fallopian tubes are a pair of slender, curved tubes located on the inner side of the upper margin of the broad ligament of the uterus, connected to the uterine horns. Their outer ends are free and close to the ovary, with a total length of 8-15 cm.
