What is fallopian tube blockage?
Fallopian tube blockage means that there is an obstruction inside or outside the fallopian tube, which prevents the egg from passing through the fallopian tube and reaching the uterus smoothly. Fallopian tube blockage is one of the main causes of female infertility. Since the egg cannot meet the sperm, the chance of fertilization is greatly reduced, leading to infertility.
What are the symptoms of fallopian tube blockage?
1. Abnormal menstruation
Blocked fallopian tubes can lead to irregular or reduced menstrual periods, especially shortened menstrual periods.
2. Abdominal pain
Because the fallopian tube lumen is blocked, the egg cannot smoothly pass through the fallopian tube to the uterus, which can easily cause abdominal pain, especially during ovulation.
3. Infertility
Blocked fallopian tubes are one of the main causes of female infertility, making it difficult to conceive naturally.
What are the causes of fallopian tube blockage?
1. Salpingitis caused by infection
Infectious diseases such as sexually transmitted diseases or pelvic inflammatory disease can cause salpingitis, which causes the fallopian tubes to become blocked by inflammation and produce scar tissue, eventually leading to blockage of the fallopian tubes.
2. Previous surgery
As a result of the surgery, scar tissue may develop in the lumen of the fallopian tubes, blocking the egg\’s passage to the uterus.
3.Physiological deformity
Physiological malformations of the fallopian tubes, such as dislocation, deformation, shortness, length, stuck, etc., can easily lead to fallopian tube blockage.
How to treat blocked fallopian tubes?
1.Surgical treatment
Unblock the blocked fallopian tubes of patients so that the fertilized eggs can reach the uterus smoothly to achieve the effect of treating infertility.
2. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment
Depending on the specific reasons, traditional Chinese medicine, such as salvia miltiorrhiza, peach kernel, pangolin and other traditional Chinese medicines, can be used to treat blocked fallopian tubes by clearing veins, dredging qi and blood, anti-inflammation and sterilization.
3. Assisted reproductive medical technology
Such as artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, etc., which use technical means to impregnate infertile women to achieve the purpose of fertility.
Summary
Fallopian tube blockage is one of the main causes of female infertility. Abnormal menstruation, abdominal pain and infertility are its main symptoms. There are many reasons for fallopian tube blockage, such as salpingitis caused by infection, previous surgery, physiological abnormalities, etc. Surgical treatment, traditional Chinese medicine treatment and assisted reproductive medical technology are all effective methods to treat fallopian tube blockage. For patients with infertility, finding the cause in time and taking targeted treatment will help increase the chance of pregnancy.
