Are there any symptoms of blocked fallopian tubes?

In life, some women have been preparing for pregnancy for several years, but still haven’t gotten pregnant. Their husbands have gone to the hospital for a physical examination, and the results show that there is nothing wrong, which means that the problem must be with themselves. Female friends who encounter such problems, have you ever thought about whether your fallopian tubes are blocked? In fact, there are some symptoms of fallopian tube blockage, such as the following.

Symptom 1: Abdominal pain

When a woman has fallopian tube disease, she will experience pain in the lower abdomen. The pain may be severe or mild, but most of the time it is a hidden discomfort.

If it is an acute fallopian tube disease, in addition to abdominal pain, there will also be symptoms such as abdominal distension, chills and fever, constipation and diarrhea, frequent and painful urination, and pus and blood in the vagina.

Symptom 2: Dysmenorrhea

Normal dysmenorrhea is generally not too severe, but if it is caused by fallopian tube disease, the pain will generally start before menstruation, and the closer to the menstrual period, the more obvious the pain.

Symptom 3: Irregular menstruation

The most common manifestation is excessive menstrual flow or a significant increase in the frequency of menstruation.

Symptom 4: Other

Such as pain during sexual intercourse, gastrointestinal disorders and increased leucorrhea.

Experts say that although the above symptoms are manifestations of fallopian tube abnormalities, other gynecological diseases may also occur, so it is difficult to judge based on these alone.

Therefore, it is recommended that female friends go to the hospital for a fallopian tube examination as soon as possible if they have been trying to get pregnant but have not been successful and have the above symptoms.

How to check if there is a problem with the fallopian tube?

1. Fallopian tube insufflation

Inject drugs or saline into the uterine cavity, and judge whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed based on the reflux of the injected liquid, the size of the resistance, and the feeling of the patient and the operator.

However, this type of examination has a large proportion of subjective factors and is not very accurate. Furthermore, it is impossible to determine the specific location of the blockage or adhesion.

2. Hysterosalpingography

This is the most commonly used method for examining fallopian tubes in clinical practice. Through hysterosalpingography, not only can we determine whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed and find out the areas of blockage or adhesion, but we can also observe the overall situation in the uterine cavity with a high accuracy rate.

3. Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy can not only directly observe the morphology, obstruction site and patency of the fallopian tubes, but also examine the conditions of the pelvis, ovaries and uterus. Once abnormalities are found, the lesions can be treated in a timely manner.
