What should I do if my left fallopian tube is blocked and I can’t get pregnant?

It is very important for women to have unobstructed fallopian tubes. Blockage of fallopian tubes will affect women's pregnancy. Some women find that they cannot get pregnant for a long time during the preparation for pregnancy. After examination, it was found that the left fallopian tube was blocked, but they did not pay attention to it. Most women think that they can still get pregnant if one side of the fallopian tube is blocked. In fact, this idea is wrong. If you do not pay attention to it, it will easily lead to blockage of both fallopian tubes.

What to do if the left fallopian tube is blocked and you can't get pregnant?

Women with blocked left fallopian tube are advised to receive treatment before preparing for pregnancy. There are three degrees of fallopian tube blockage. Different degrees of blockage have different treatment difficulties and results.

1. Fallopian tube obstruction: The patient's fallopian tube has mild inflammatory adhesions, or the fallopian tube is too thin and too curved, or it is adhered to the outside of the fallopian tube, making the fallopian tube unable to move. For patients with this type of fallopian tube obstruction, drug injection and unblocking can be considered first. If it is still not completely unobstructed, surgery should be performed, and the possibility of pregnancy after the surgery is very high.

2. Fallopian tube obstruction is blocked, but the damage to the fallopian tube is small: The damage to the fallopian tube is relatively small, and most of them are normal. For patients with this type of blocked fallopian tubes, a guide wire is usually needed to clear them. After surgery, some medication may be used to clear the blockage. After surgery, the fallopian tube function is normal and the pregnancy rate is high.

3. Fallopian tube obstruction and severe fallopian tube damage: This is rare, mainly due to the patient's long-term illness, severe damage to the inner wall of the fallopian tube or serious deformation of the fallopian tube, and the possibility of pregnancy after treatment is generally not high. Therefore, patients with fallopian tube disease should receive treatment as soon as possible to avoid lifelong infertility due to serious diseases.

What are the chances of pregnancy if one fallopian tube is blocked?

Although everyone believes that if one side of the fallopian tube is blocked, the chance of pregnancy becomes 50%. But this is only a theoretical judgment. Many conditions need to be met for successful childbirth. Clinically, infertility caused by obstruction of one fallopian tube is also very common. There are no typical symptoms for fallopian tube blockage. The most common manifestation is infertility. The fallopian tube plays an important role in transporting sperm, absorbing eggs and transporting fertilized eggs to the uterine cavity. Fallopian tube blockage hinders the passage of sperm and fertilized eggs, leading to infertility or ectopic pregnancy. If the fallopian tube obstruction is caused by pelvic inflammation, it may be accompanied by lower abdominal pain, back pain, increased secretions, pain during sexual intercourse, etc.

If one side of the fallopian tube is blocked, it also needs timely treatment

Many women discover that they have blocked fallopian tubes during an accidental check-up. Some women only have one fallopian tube blocked, which makes them anxious. Generally, women who are able to conceive normally have unobstructed fallopian tubes on both sides. Although theoretically, if one side of the fallopian tube is unobstructed, there is a 50% chance of pregnancy, but if one side of the fallopian tube is blocked, there is a high possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, it is recommended that even if one side of the fallopian tube is blocked, you should go to a regular hospital for treatment in time.

Although there is still a chance of pregnancy if one side of the fallopian tube is unobstructed, the fallopian tube is the channel for transporting eggs. It is also the channel for sperm to ascend and the channel for fertilized eggs to return to the uterine cavity for implantation. Therefore, its patency directly affects fertility. Once this important traffic artery becomes diseased or blocked, infertility, endometriosis, ectopic pregnancy, etc. become the ultimate consequences.
