What to do if both sides of the fallopian tubes are blocked

The fallopian tubes are located in the human pelvic cavity. Most people have two fallopian tubes, the left and right fallopian tubes are located on each side of the uterus. The left fallopian tube is adjacent to the small intestine and sigmoid colon. The right fallopian tube is close to the small intestine and appendix. This year, many infertile women have suffered from blocked fallopian tubes. Why do fallopian tubes become blocked? What to do if both sides of the fallopian tubes are blocked? Let’s take a look at the following content to learn more about this aspect.

Where are the fallopian tubes located?

1. The fallopian tube extends outward from the outer corner of the uterine fundus in parallel, first reaching the uterine end of the ovary, then ascending along the ovarian mesocolonial margin to the fallopian tube end of the ovary, and forming an arch shape that covers the ovary, then descending and inward, ending at the free edge of the ovary and the upper part of its inner surface. The fallopian tubes have a large range of motion. Not only can they move with changes in the position of the uterus, but they can also change position due to peristalsis and contraction.

2. The lumen of the fallopian tube is relatively narrow, with the diameter of the narrowest part being only 1 to 2 mm. When salpingitis or pelvic inflammatory disease occurs, the narrowest part and fimbria of the fallopian tube are prone to adhesion or complete atresia, so that the sperm and egg cannot meet in the tube cavity, thus causing infertility.

Symptoms of fallopian tube obstruction?

1. Women with blocked fallopian tubes usually experience lower abdominal pain. Depending on the location of the blockage in the woman's fallopian tubes, the location of the patient's abdominal pain is also different. It can generally manifest as pain on one side of the abdomen, or pain on both sides of the abdomen. In addition to lower abdominal pain, some women also have a feeling of lower abdominal falling. This phenomenon is not easy for female patients to detect and is accompanied by low back pain, which is often manifested as lumbar and sacral pain, low back pain, etc. Some women mistakenly think that there is a problem with the lumbar spine. Women with fallopian tube obstruction will also experience excessive secretions, which can also be called increased leucorrhea. The main symptoms are abnormal leucorrhea, with changes in the color, quality, properties, and odor of leucorrhea, as well as heavy menstrual flow.

2. Acute and chronic fallopian tube inflammation causing fallopian tube obstruction is a common cause of female tubal infertility. Although some inflammations do not cause blockage of the fallopian tube lumen, the endometrium is destroyed by inflammation, affecting the ciliary movement of endometrial cells. Scar formation makes the fallopian tube wall stiff, affecting the peristalsis of the fallopian tube, thereby affecting the meeting and transportation of sperm and egg and causing infertility.

3. Pelvic endometriosis and ovarian endometriotic cysts cause bleeding and adhesions, which can block the fallopian tubes and affect the peristalsis of the fallopian tubes. At the same time, the ectopic endometrium produces too much prostaglandin, which interferes with the rhythmic peristalsis of the fallopian tubes. Affecting the ability of the fallopian tube to obtain eggs can cause infertility.

How to treat bilateral fallopian tube obstruction?

1. For women who are suspected of infertility due to fallopian tube obstruction, it is necessary to confirm the diagnosis through hysterosalpingography. If there is fallopian tube blockage, the treatment with the prescription for regulating menstruation and unblocking eggs is very effective.

2. Surgical treatment: Fallopian tube blockage should be treated accordingly according to the location of the blockage. There are many ways to treat fallopian tube lesions: hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, hysteroscopy and laparoscopy combined with guidewire intervention, hysteroscopy and laparoscopy combined with separation, water injection laparoscopy, etc.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment, using drugs to loosen and decompose adhesions fundamentally, promote the peristalsis of the fallopian tube itself, enhance its egg picking and transporting function, and assist conception. Need to see a doctor.

What to do if both sides of the fallopian tubes are blocked? Due to long-term chronic inflammation, the fallopian tubes become congested and edematous, and inflammatory cells infiltrate the lumen. The exfoliated and necrotic cells aggregate and cause blockage of the lumen. Patients should not be careless when they experience symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, excessive secretions, and low back pain. They should go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid infertility caused by fallopian tube blockage. If confirmed, don't be nervous, as it can be completely cured through surgery.
