The chance of pregnancy with one fallopian tube remaining

Not all women have normal fallopian tubes on both sides. Some women may have one fallopian tube blocked, which greatly reduces the chance of pregnancy, but does not cause infertility. Therefore, women should actively seek treatment after having gynecological diseases, especially for women who have not given birth. So what is the chance of pregnancy with one remaining fallopian tube?

However, due to various reasons, the fertilized egg goes wrong during the migration process and does not reach the uterus, but stays somewhere else. This becomes an ectopic pregnancy, also known as ectopic pregnancy in medical terms.

The most common ectopic pregnancy among female friends is the ectopic pregnancy that occurs in the fallopian tube. Once pregnancy occurs in the fallopian tube, the development of the fertilized egg will lead to miscarriage or fallopian tube rupture. Both situations are very harmful to women, especially fallopian tube rupture. In severe cases, shock may occur and the fallopian tube on that side will need to be removed. Therefore, we must pay attention to the situation of ectopic pregnancy.

Is there still a chance for a woman to get pregnant if one of her fallopian tubes is removed?

Theoretically, as long as your other fallopian tube is unobstructed and your ovaries can ovulate normally, you can still get pregnant naturally. However, their chances of pregnancy are lower than those of women with intact fallopian tubes on both sides. If there is adhesion, blockage, etc. on the remaining fallopian tube, it will be difficult to conceive naturally and early diagnosis and treatment are required.

First of all, you need to understand some common sense. Women have left and right fallopian tubes, which correspond to the left and right ovaries respectively. Under normal circumstances, the left and right ovaries ovulate alternately and the ovulation is picked up by the fallopian tube on the same side. As long as the fallopian tube can capture the egg normally and other conditions are normal, women can become pregnant naturally.

However, since the left and right ovaries ovulate alternately on a monthly basis, if only one fallopian tube remains, the chance of pregnancy is theoretically reduced by half.

If a woman with only one fallopian tube left wants to become pregnant naturally, she must ensure that the fallopian tube on this side is healthy and unobstructed. If there is blockage, adhesion, water accumulation, or obstruction of the fallopian tube, timely medical treatment is required. Unless the fallopian tube is completely blocked, there is generally a chance of pregnancy if the cause is identified and symptomatic treatment is actively provided.

How can female friends better protect the fallopian tubes? Gynecological inflammation should be discovered and treated promptly to avoid the possibility of ascending infection. Contraceptive measures should be taken when there are no plans to get pregnant to avoid the possible harm caused by artificial abortion. It is recommended to choose a regular and professional hospital for hysterectomy and abdominal surgery, and to insist on anti-inflammatory treatment after the operation, which will help reduce the possibility of fallopian tube infection.
