Can blocked fallopian tubes be treated?

How to treat fallopian tube blockage? Fallopian tube blockage in women of childbearing age can cause infertility, so it should be treated promptly and treated immediately. So, do you know how to treat fallopian tube obstruction?

How to treat fallopian tube obstruction

The bilateral fallopian tubes are obstructed. The causes are debris, fallen cells or blood clots in the tubes; or the fallopian tubes are too slender and bent; or the fallopian tubes are adhered to the pelvic wall and adjacent organs, which affects the activity of the fallopian tubes. Treatment can be performed using laparoscopic surgery. For extra-tubular adhesions, laparoscopic surgery can be used to break and dissolve them, thereby "opening" the bilateral fallopian tubes. After treatment, the vast majority of patients are able to become pregnant.

The fallopian tubes are blocked and the degree of damage is mild, but in most cases both fallopian tubes are normal. In this case, the fallopian tube can be cleared or the catheter can be placed within 24 hours through hysterectomy and abdominal co-surgery. If there is hydrosalpinx, an incision can be made on it to drain the fluid and then suture it to prevent further adhesion. Generally speaking, surgical treatment has good practical effects, with a success rate of over 90%.

Both sides of the fallopian tubes are completely blocked and the lesions are quite serious. This situation is often caused by delayed treatment due to a long history of illness or tubal tuberculosis infection. Because of scarring, muscle atrophy, and muscle stiffness on both sides of the fallopian tubes, irreversible changes in function occur, even if the fallopian tubes are successfully perfused, artificial insemination is difficult. Generally, in vitro fertilization is required after surgery to promote pregnancy.

Causes of Fallopian Tube Blockage

Salpingitis or pelvic inflammatory disease is a common cause of blocked fallopian tubes. When the bilateral fallopian tubes become inflamed due to chlamydia infection, tuberculosis infection, mycoplasma infection, chlamydia infection or other bacterial infections, the endometrial epithelial cell tissue of both sides of the fallopian tubes can be destroyed, causing the fallopian tubes to be blocked. The inflammation can destroy the mucosa of both sides of the fallopian tubes and produce scars, causing the lumen to be narrowed or blocked.

Sperm and egg cells cannot meet in the safe passage, resulting in infertility. Some pathogens such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus or Gonorrhea rush to the bilateral fallopian tubes or pelvis through the vagina, cervix and uterus, causing pelvic peritonitis and more serious systemic infection. There are also reports of inflammation caused by Trichomonas in China. Secondary infection after abortion, childbirth, pelvic surgery, and appendicitis can also cause fallopian tube obstruction and infertility. Uterine endometriosis can also cause blockage of both fallopian tubes.

Women with a history of appendectomy have a greatly increased chance of bilateral fallopian tube damage. Because the appendix and the fallopian tubes are very close to each other, the infection at the appendix can easily spread to the fallopian tubes, causing inflammation of the fallopian tubes and eventually blockage of the fallopian tubes.
