Can I still get pregnant after left fallopian tube removal?

Nowadays, infertility is normal for us now, and we don’t think it is a serious disease. In the past, the country strictly prohibited having more children, but now it is no longer prohibited and people can’t have children. Various difficult diseases make female infertility particularly complicated, such as bilateral fallopian tube problems in women. Below, the United Family Healthcare IVF Hospital will explain to you, is it still possible to get pregnant after the left fallopian tube is removed?

Can I still get pregnant after left fallopian tube removal surgery?

Under normal circumstances, there is a pair of ovaries and fallopian tubes on each side of the human body. Every month, one of the ovaries releases a perfect egg, which is then picked up by the fallopian tubes. Women who have had their fallopian tube removed on one side have a 50% lower chance of becoming pregnant, but it is still possible to get pregnant successfully. However, if there are other factors that may cause infertility, or if there is abnormality in the function of both fallopian tubes on one side, successful pregnancy is absolutely impossible. Therefore, for women who have had their fallopian tube removed on one side, if they want to know whether they can get pregnant, they need to go to the hospital for a more detailed examination to understand the function of all reproductive organs and eliminate various causes of infertility. The patency of both fallopian tubes can be checked through angiography. If both fallopian tubes are smooth and functioning perfectly, and there are no other factors that may cause infertility, then under the guidance of a doctor, pregnancy can still be achieved at the right time.

Can ectopic pregnancy still occur after fallopian tube removal?

Any part of the body where the test tube embryo is implanted outside the uterus is called "ectopic pregnancy", also known as "ectopic pregnancy". More than 90% of ectopic pregnancies occur in the bilateral fallopian tubes, which is also called "tubal pregnancy". In order to reduce the occurrence of ectopic pregnancies, some people choose to remove the fallopian tubes at the same time as ectopic pregnancy surgery. Therefore, some patients mistakenly believe that the incidence of ectopic pregnancy after fallopian tube removal is zero, but this is not the case. So why does ectopic pregnancy continue to occur after fallopian tube removal? This is closely related to the structural characteristics of the bilateral fallopian tubes. The fallopian tubes serve as bridges connecting sperm and eggs and play a very important role.

Medically, the bilateral fallopian tubes are divided into four parts. From the outside to the inside, they are the fimbria, ampulla, isthmus and interstitial part. Generally, fallopian tube removal refers to the removal of the isthmus, ampulla, and fimbria. The interstitial part is a part of the bilateral fallopian tubes that passes through the uterine myocardium and cannot be removed. As the saying goes, "You can't uproot the grass by cutting it." If the fallopian tube is removed, the test tube embryo may also be implanted in the unique position of the interstitial part, leading to bilateral interstitial pregnancy of the fallopian tube. In addition, the test tube embryo may also be implanted in the uterine cornu or neck, uterus, ovaries, and even in rare positions such as the abdomen. This is the possible reason why ectopic pregnancy can still occur after the fallopian tube is removed.
