Consequences of untreated fallopian tube obstruction

Fallopian tube blockage is one of the problems that lead to infertility. Because the fallopian tubes cannot help the body transport eggs normally, many people suffer from fallopian tube blockage. Fallopian tube blockage is very painful during treatment and needs to be unblocked, but the treatment process will make people feel particularly painful. So whether or not to treat it at this time has become a very confusing issue. At the same time, everyone should also know that the consequences of not treating it are very serious.

X-rays are actually a kind of electromagnetic wave, an electromagnetic wave with a certain wavelength and biological and physical properties. The damage caused by transient X-ray exposure is mild and reversible. When undergoing routine X-ray examinations, be sure to pay attention to protection, but there is no need to be afraid. A routine examination will cause limited harm to the human body and is relatively safe, so there is no need to worry too much.

What are the harms of untreated fallopian tube obstruction to the body?

What needs to be reminded here is that after doing hysterosalpingography, you must strictly follow the doctor's instructions and pay attention to related matters, otherwise it will easily affect your body: a small amount of bleeding within one week after the hysterosalpingography is normal if there is no other discomfort. If the amount of bleeding is more than the menstrual amount or there are other discomforts, you need to consult a doctor.

Find the cause and take appropriate measures based on the cause. It is best to practice contraception for three months after the contrast examination to reduce the possible effects of X-ray exposure. However, clinical observations have found that women who become pregnant in the same month after angiography do not have an increased risk of fetal abnormalities. Sometimes tubal spasm may cause the illusion of tubal obstruction and the procedure should be repeated if necessary. Bathing and sexual intercourse are prohibited for two weeks after angiography, and antibiotics may be given as appropriate to prevent infection.

The consequences of delayed treatment of fallopian tube obstruction are mainly as follows:

1. Infertility. The normal function of the fallopian tube plays an extremely important role in conception. It can capture the mature eggs released from the ovaries to the abdominal cavity and provide a channel for sperm to ascend, so that the sperm meets the egg in the ampulla of the fallopian tube and fertilizes it. If the fallopian tubes are blocked, sperm cannot reach the point where they meet the egg, making conception impossible.

2. Ectopic pregnancy. Under normal circumstances, the fallopian tube transports the fertilized egg to the uterine cavity through the movement of cilia and the peristalsis of the fallopian tube smooth muscle. However, when the fallopian tube is blocked, the fertilized egg cannot reach the uterine cavity and stays in the fallopian tube and other parts to grow, resulting in an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy can cause heavy bleeding, shock, and even be life-threatening.

The fallopian tube has the function of transporting sperm, picking up eggs and transporting fertilized eggs to the uterine cavity. It is also the place where sperm and eggs combine and fertilize. Once the fallopian tube is blocked, it will directly affect the combination of sperm and egg, and the sperm and egg cannot meet. It is absolutely impossible to get pregnant if this problem is not solved. It is recommended that husbands identify the cause of infertility, receive targeted treatment, and do not miss the best time for treatment.
