Does a blocked fallopian tube on one side of a woman need treatment?

Many women have blockage in one of their fallopian tubes due to various reasons. When one side of the fallopian tube is blocked, many women who want to get pregnant become particularly worried. So they want to fully understand whether a woman's blockage in the fallopian tube on one side requires treatment? The following content provides a specific answer, and you can see how the experts introduce it.

Experts point out that if one side of the fallopian tube is blocked, it will increase the pressure on the other side of the fallopian tube, and over time, problems will also occur on the other side.

The fallopian tube plays an important role in transporting sperm and absorbing eggs. The blockage of the fallopian tubes prevents sperm from being transported and the sperm and egg from combining, which leads to female infertility. Although women with one blocked fallopian tube still have a chance of getting pregnant, if the blockage of the other fallopian tube is not treated, it may gradually affect the unblocked fallopian tube and eventually lead to bilateral fallopian tube blockage.

In addition, although there is still a chance of conception if one side of the fallopian tube is blocked, it is often an ectopic pregnancy, and as the disease progresses, it may also lead to miscarriage. From this it can be seen that when one side of a woman's fallopian tube is blocked, treatment is needed.

Experts point out that fallopian tube blockage can be divided into three categories according to the condition. Different degrees of fallopian tube blockage require different treatment methods.

1. The fallopian tube is obstructed: the cause is blockage by debris, shed cells or blood clots in the tube; or the fallopian tube is too thin and curved; or the fallopian tube is adhered to the pelvic wall and adjacent organs, pulling the movement of the fallopian tube. Treatment can be done by laparoscopy. Adhesions outside the fallopian tube can also be cut and broken down through laparoscopy to "loosen" the fallopian tube. With treatment, most patients can become pregnant.

2. Blockage of fallopian tubes: The degree of damage is relatively minor, but most of the fallopian tubes are normal. In this case, the fallopian tube can be cleared or the catheter can be placed for 24 hours through combined uterine and abdominal surgery. If there is hydrosalpinx, an incision can be made on it, the liquid can be drained, and the tube can be turned over and sutured to prevent further adhesion. In this case, as long as correct and professional surgical treatment is carried out, more than 90% of patients can regain hope of becoming pregnant.

3. Complete blockage of the fallopian tubes: This situation is mostly caused by delayed treatment due to a long course of illness or fallopian tube tuberculosis infection. Because the fallopian tubes become scarred, contracted, and stiff, their functions undergo irreversible changes. Even if they are successfully blocked, it is difficult to conceive naturally. Generally, in vitro fertilization is required after surgery.

Through the introduction of experts, I believe many women have fully understood whether treatment is needed after one side of the fallopian tube is blocked? If your probability of pregnancy is relatively high, you can get pregnant without treatment, or you don’t need treatment. However, if your probability of pregnancy is very low, you must clear it as soon as possible so that the probability of pregnancy can be higher.
