Why wouldn't a blocked fallopian tube prevent pregnancy? How to clear blocked fallopian tubes

The fallopian tube is an important part of the female body that plays an important role in conception. Infertility women often experience blocked fallopian tubes in their daily lives, and we should pay attention to the methods of unblocking them.

Why can blocked fallopian tubes lead to infertility

Under normal circumstances, the human fallopian tubes are very small, but due to blockage caused by water accumulation, they can become enlarged. On the surface, patients have almost no symptoms, but the water accumulation in the fallopian tubes can be detected by ultrasound. Mainly during the acute period of fallopian tube inflammation, which leads to blockage of the fimbriae end. Inflammatory exudate accumulates in the lumen of the fallopian tube, and ultrasound shows that the fallopian tubes with abnormal echoes on one or both sides of the uterus become thicker and appear sausage like, with low or punctate echoes occurring within the lumen.

The normal function of the fallopian tubes plays a very important role in pregnancy. The mature egg discharged from the ovary to the abdominal cavity provides a pathway for sperm to ascend, allowing sperm to meet and fertilize the egg in the ampulla of the fallopian tube. It also provides the best internal environment for the division and differentiation of zygote. The rhythmic peristalsis of the fallopian tubes can allow pregnant eggs to be transplanted into the uterine cavity. When the fallopian tubes become diseased and blocked, all of the above functions are lost and infertility occurs. Fallopian tube disease is an important cause of infertility, accounting for 25% of the causes of infertility, with blockage being the most common.

The hazards of blocked fallopian tubes

1. Physiological pain: Long term chronic inflammation of the fallopian tubes causes pelvic congestion, leading to congestive physiological pain. Physiological pain is often accompanied by abdominal pain starting one week before menstruation. The closer the physiological day, the heavier the menstrual cycle before the onset of menstruation.

2. Irregular menstruation: The fallopian tubes are adjacent to the ovaries. When fallopian tube inflammation affects the ovaries, it can cause a certain degree of damage to ovarian function, causing menstrual abnormalities. Among them, frequent menstruation and excessive menstrual volume are the most common.

3. Infertility: The fallopian tube plays an important role in transporting sperm, ingesting eggs, and transporting zygote to the uterine cavity. When the fallopian tube is damaged by diseases, it becomes blocked, hindering the passage of sperm and zygote, and infertility occurs.

4. Other: Severe fallopian tube blockage, in addition to symptoms such as infertility and dysmenorrhea, can also lead to increased vaginal discharge, pain during sexual activity, gastrointestinal disorders, fatigue, affected or unsustainable labor, mental and neurological symptoms, and mental depression.
