Both sides of the fallopian tubes are blocked and I got pregnant unexpectedly

The bilateral fallopian tubes are a pair of muscular tubes unique to the female body. Their main function is to ensure that the egg can enter the uterus smoothly. Therefore, when both sides of the fallopian tubes become diseased, it is very likely to affect a woman's fertility. So, is it possible to get pregnant with both sides of the fallopian tubes blocked?

Bilateral fallopian tube obstruction may reduce a woman's chances of becoming pregnant and even cause infertility. Because the normal pregnancy process requires sperm to pass through the cervix and uterine cavity, enter the fallopian tubes and combine with the egg cells therein, and then return to the uterine cavity for the embryo to implant and develop. If both fallopian tubes on one side are blocked, the sperm and egg cells will not be able to combine completely, and pregnancy will not be possible.

Because the severity of fallopian tube obstruction varies among women, after a thorough examination, they can choose bilateral hysterosalpingography or fallopian tube resection, which can effectively alleviate the symptoms and increase the probability of pregnancy. Women with more serious blockages can consider combining hysteroscopy and laparoscopy to insert a catheter to deliver fluids to the blocked area, or use hysteroscopy combined with surgery for treatment.

However, due to the influence of the location of the blockage and the individual's physical fitness, the actual effect of surgery is also different. If the actual effects of medication and surgery are not ideal, women can choose in vitro fertilization, IVF and other assisted pregnancy methods to achieve their own pregnancy dreams.

Causes of Fallopian Tube Blockage

The most common cause is inflammation of the bilateral fallopian tubes or pelvic peritoneum. Inflammation can damage the mucosa of both fallopian tubes and cause scarring, resulting in narrowing or blockage of the lumen. The key is to divide it into physiological reasons and human factors. The common cause of fallopian tube blockage in female patients is that some women suffer from gynecological inflammation, which spreads upward through the uterine wall and affects the fallopian tubes on both sides of the woman. The fallopian tubes on both sides of the woman are affected by the inflammation, causing the fallopian tube epithelial cells on both sides of the woman to fall off, and further causing adhesion of the fallopian tube mucosa on both sides of the woman. In medicine, bilateral fallopian tube obstruction refers to the blockage of bilateral fallopian tubes by debris, fallen cells, and menstrual blood clots in women's bilateral fallopian tubes.

Symptom classification

1. Salpingitis. Salpingitis is the most common cause of fallopian tube obstruction. Many women have experienced improper abortion, medical abortion, or postoperative infection due to the impact of childbirth. In addition, many women may suffer from gynecological inflammation. Over time, the infection will spread to the pelvis and fallopian tubes. The inflammatory inflammation will cause the walls of the fallopian tubes to thicken and form adhesions, thus causing fallopian tube blockage.

2. Endometriosis. Women suffering from endometriosis will change the environment in the pelvis, causing the uterus to be inflamed for a long time. Long-term inflammation can cause fallopian tube adhesions or fallopian tube blockage.

3. Congenital hypoplasia of bilateral fallopian tubes. Congenital changes in the bilateral fallopian tubes, slenderness and distortion, or functional problems of the bilateral fallopian tubes can all cause fallopian tube blockage.

4. Gynecological tumors. For example, chocolate cysts or adenomyosis will directly compress the bilateral fallopian tubes in the shape of a prominent tumor, causing them to adhere to nearby tissues, which will also cause adhesion and blockage of the fallopian tubes.

5. Pulmonary tuberculosis. Female friends who have suffered from tuberculosis and have not been completely treated may inadvertently affect both fallopian tubes and cause fallopian tube blockage.
