Can the fallopian tube be reconnected after removal?

Ectopic pregnancy is also a common ectopic pregnancy problem that occurs in pregnant women. Ectopic pregnancy specifically refers to the fertilized egg in the patient's body not implanting properly inside the uterus, but implanting in the fallopian tube. Therefore, different treatment methods are needed for different types of ectopic pregnancy. Severe ectopic pregnancy requires fallopian tube removal. Can the fallopian tube be reconnected after removal?

It is possible to reconnect the fallopian tube after it is removed, mainly depending on the length of the removal. Once the fallopian tube is removed, it will definitely affect sperm and egg conception. For women who have both sides of the fallopian tube removed, they will definitely not be able to conceive naturally. If only one side of the fallopian tube is removed, you can have sex when the other side ovulates, which can also increase the chance of pregnancy.

Why does ectopic pregnancy occur?

Chronic fallopian tube inflammation

It is divided into tubal mucositis and perisalpingitis, both of which are common causes of tubal pregnancy. In severe cases, fallopian tube mucositis can cause complete obstruction of the tube lumen and lead to infertility. In mild cases, the fallopian tube mucosa will form adhesions and cilia will be damaged, which will hinder the movement of the fertilized egg and cause it to implant there. Salpingitis caused by gonorrhea and Chlamydia trachomatis often affects the mucosa, and infection after miscarriage or delivery often causes perisalpingitis.

Fertilized egg wandering

The egg is fertilized in one fallopian tube and then enters the opposite fallopian tube through the uterine cavity or abdominal cavity. If the migration time is too long, the fertilized egg will grow larger and can implant in the opposite fallopian tube.

Fallopian tube dysplasia or dysfunction

Hypoplasia includes excessively long fallopian tubes, poor development of the muscular layer, lack of mucociliary hairs, double fallopian tubes, diverticula or parafimbria, etc.; abnormal secretion of estrogen and progesterone and mental factors may lead to abnormal fallopian tube function.

History of fallopian tube surgery

If the fallopian tube is recanalized or fistula forms after tubal sterilization, it may lead to tubal pregnancy, especially laparoscopic electrocoagulation tubal sterilization and silicone ring surgery. If you have undergone tubal adhesion separation surgery or fallopian tube plasty, such as fallopian tube anastomosis and fallopian tube opening surgery due to infertility, the risk of tubal pregnancy occurring again will increase.

other

The movement of the fertilized egg may also be blocked due to compression of the fallopian tube by surrounding tumors such as uterine fibroids or ovarian tumors, especially adhesion of the fallopian tube and surrounding tissues of the ovary caused by endometriosis. In addition, some studies believe that defects in the embryo itself, artificial abortion, smoking, etc. are also related to ectopic pregnancy.
