Will blocked fallopian tubes cause ovulation?

The fallopian tube is a very important organ for women. If we understand it from the name alone, the fallopian tube is naturally the place where eggs are discharged. The fallopian tubes are very easy to get blocked. Many female infertility cases are related to fallopian tube blockage. If you want to better solve your own problems, it is important to know as much common knowledge about fallopian tubes as possible. So, will ovulation occur if the fallopian tubes are blocked?

Fallopian tube blockage has nothing to do with ovulation. The eggs are released from the ovaries. Even if the fallopian tubes are blocked, ovulation will not be affected if the ovaries function normally. However, if the fertilized egg cannot enter the uterus, infertility will result. If you want to know whether your fallopian tubes are blocked, it is best to go to the hospital for a fallopian tube examination 3-7 days after your period ends. It can well judge the location and degree of fallopian tube blockage.

The role of the fallopian tube

The fallopian tube is the place where the egg and sperm combine and the channel for transporting the fertilized egg. Its important function is to transport the eggs released by the ovaries to the uterine cavity cyclically once a month. The movement of the eggs is due to the peristalsis of the fallopian tubes themselves and the movement of the villi growing on the endometrial epithelium. The fallopian tube has extremely complex and delicate physiological functions, and plays an important role in egg collection, sperm capacitation, egg fertilization, fertilized egg transportation, and the survival and development of early embryos.

Therefore, it is very important to treat the fallopian tubes. The traditional Chinese medicine "Tiaojing Tongluan Fang" has a unique therapeutic effect in treating salpingitis and fallopian tube obstruction! It can effectively improve the local blood circulation in the pelvic cavity, promote the absorption of local inflammation, loosen adhesions, and allow the congestion in the fallopian tube to be absorbed by itself or discharged with menstrual blood, and restore the original cell tissue structure, thereby making the fallopian tube unobstructed and restoring its function.

What are the methods of ovulation monitoring?

Ovarian ovulation can be monitored indirectly.

(1) Basal body temperature monitoring: Basal body temperature refers to the body temperature when inactive in the early morning. It is relatively low in the pre-ovulation period and increases significantly by about 0.2 to 0.5°C after ovulation, and continues until the onset of menstruation.

BBT is biphasic, indicating ovulation. It does not occur in menopausal women or women who have had their ovaries removed.

BBT is monophasic: indicating that ovulation may not occur.

(2) Cervical mucus monitoring: In the first half of the menstrual cycle, the cervix does not secrete mucus and the vulva is very dry. After this, the cervix secretes a small amount of thick, opaque mucus. Just before ovulation, with the appearance of the estrogen peak, the cervical mucus becomes thinner, transparent, and clear, and the amount also increases. This is called fertile mucus.

(3) Ultrasound imaging monitoring (B-ultrasound)

Generally, monitoring begins on the 10th day of the menstrual cycle to observe changes in the diameter of the follicles. The diameter of the follicles increases by an average of about 3mm per day in the 4 days before ovulation. The follicles mature to about 17-25mm before ovulation and disappear after ovulation. Continuous monitoring shows that the follicles continue to grow before ovulation. When the largest follicle disappears, ovulation occurs. (This method is reliable, but requires continuous monitoring and is expensive).

(4) Endocrine examination

After ovulation, that is, about one week before menstruation, a blood test for progesterone is done. An elevated level indicates ovulation.
