What does it mean if the fallopian tube is blocked?

Bilateral fallopian tube obstruction simply means that there is a functional problem with the bilateral fallopian tubes. Although sperm and eggs can enter, they are not smooth and may cause blockage, making it impossible for sperm and eggs to enter. If the sperm and egg cannot implant in the right place, they will choose other places to implant or fail to implant, leading to ectopic pregnancy and infertility.

The main function of the fallopian tubes is to transport sperm, pick up eggs, and periodically transfer eggs discharged from the ovaries or sperm and eggs after fertilization to the uterus once a month.

The sperm and egg movement is achieved through the combined effects of the movement of the sperm itself, the automatic peristalsis of the fallopian tubes, and the shaking of the hairs grown on the endometrial epithelial cells of the fallopian tubes. It takes about five days to transport the fertilized sperm and egg to the uterine wall for implantation and embryo implantation. Once the fallopian tubes on both sides are blocked, the sperm and egg will not be able to combine and the embryo will not implant, and you will not be able to conceive.

What are the symptoms of bilateral fallopian tube obstruction?

Generally, patients with obstructed fallopian tubes on both sides are very prone to hirsutism. Hirsutism is mainly caused by too much male hormone in the human body, which leads to excessive hair. The signs of being a "tomboy" are very obvious. The beards, chest hair, hair from belly button to private parts, anus, and limbs of "tomboy" girls will increase, and men's pubic hair will become wider and thicker. The symptoms of hirsutism are very obvious and easy to detect.

Obesity is also very prominent. According to statistics, about 25% of female friends who suffer from bilateral obstructed fallopian tubes will suffer from obesity. We should understand that many slim female friends will also gain weight! The relationship between obesity and PCOS is complex and may be related to decreased sensitivity to insulin glargine, and obesity persists after androgen levels return to normal. Therefore, all of you female friends have no choice but to come back and lose weight!

There are many symptoms of bilateral fallopian tube obstruction, among which the most obvious and easiest to detect is irregular and disordered menstruation. The specific manifestations are menstrual disorders, infrequent menstruation, scanty menstrual flow, and even amenorrhea. A very small number of patients have their menstruation only once in a long time, and the menstrual flow is heavy and the menstrual period is long. If you find that you have irregular menstruation, you must pay attention to it and go to the hospital for a physical examination immediately.
