Patient's question:
Got married for four years without getting pregnant, both fallopian tubes are patent but twisted, other tests show no problems. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Hello! A normal fallopian tube is a pair of slender, curved trumpet-shaped tubular structures located inside the female pelvis, with one on each side of the uterus. Fallopian tubes often become inflamed due to ascending infections from the vagina or uterus, or inflammation of the peritoneal cavity, leading to issues such as blockage or twisting of the fallopian tubes. If twisting of the fallopian tubes is not treated promptly, it can cause female infertility. Clinically, bilateral fallopian tube twisting is characterized by lower abdominal dull pain, back pain, or menstrual abnormalities. However, many patients, in addition to infertility, may have no other symptoms. Fallopian tube fluid testing can clearly diagnose whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, while hysterosalpingography can confirm the location and degree of fallopian tube obstruction (complete or partial obstruction). If the fallopian tubes appear slender, beaded, or rigid, it may suggest tuberculosis.Advice: Due to differences in individual constitutions, the severity and symptoms of diseases vary. It is best to follow the doctor's guidance for examination and treatment. To avoid infertility caused by bilateral fallopian tube twisting in women, timely treatment should be administered to ensure good health.
