Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I've been married for almost two years and haven't been able to get pregnant. Out of desperation, I went to the hospital for infertility testing and found that I have tubal patency obstruction, which is the cause of my infertility. I want to know what factors or causes contribute to tubal patency obstruction? Can this condition be cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the main factors or causes leading to fallopian tube blockage or dysfunction are acute and chronic tubal inflammation. Tubal inflammation can be divided into tubal mucosal inflammation and peri-tubal inflammation, both of which are common causes of fallopian tube blockage. Severe tubal mucosal inflammation can lead to complete occlusion of the lumen, resulting in infertility. In mild cases, although the lumen is not completely blocked, adhesions in the mucosal folds can narrow the lumen, or ciliary damage can affect the normal movement of the fertilized egg within the fallopian tube, causing it to be blocked midway and implant outside the uterus, leading to ectopic pregnancy. Our hospital's three-degree microscopic treatment for tubal infertility is the "gold standard," so I strongly recommend that you seek treatment at a formal specialized infertility hospital. Wishing you early pregnancy!
