Can blocked fallopian tubes cause infertility?

  It is one of the major causes of female infertility, accounting for about one-third of female infertility in the United States. There are many causes of tubal failure, although it can be caused by tubal dysplasia, endometriosis or polyps in the fallopian tubes, but the main cause is tubal inflammation.  There are two common types of inflammation: a. Septic Tubal Inflammation Most of them are caused by inflammation after delivery and miscarriage or the same surgery, but they can also be caused by inflammation of neighboring organs. It can also be caused by inflammation of adjacent organs, such as appendicitis and peritonitis.  Tuberculous tuberculosis: Most of them are caused by the spread of tuberculosis and peritoneal tuberculosis. Early inflammation only causes temporary obstruction of the tubal mucosa due to congestion and edema, and active anti-inflammatory treatment can restore the structure and function of the tubes to normal. If the lesion continues to worsen, an abscess may form and destroy the structure of the fallopian tubes.  The inflammation of the wall of the fallopian tube becomes thickened and stiffened by adhesions, and this old tubal infection causes tubal adhesions that cannot be solved by medication alone. There is also a situation where a woman’s unclean sex life leads to the occurrence of sexually transmitted Chinese diseases, and does not go to a regular hospital center for thorough and standardized treatment naturally leading to upstream infection and causing tubal infection, which eventually causes tubal incompetence.  The common tests for the function of the fallopian tube include: tubal luminescence test: tubal luminescence test is work through the catheter to inject liquid into the uterine cavity, according to the amount of resistance when injecting liquid, whether there is reflux and the amount of liquid injected and the feeling of the intervening patient, to determine whether the fallopian tube is open. The method is simple without special equipment, no obvious side effects and low cost. Injecting antibiotics and other drugs can also be used for several promotions and repeated operations are the most commonly used treatment for common diseases. The lysis cannot determine the exact location of the side of tubal obstruction, let alone observe the internal condition of the uterus and the fallopian tubes. It is generally used only as a primary screening method to evaluate the patency of the fallopian tubes.  X-ray hysterosalpingogram (HSG): The contrast agent is injected into the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes with certain instruments, and the results are judged according to the contrast agent in the uterine cavity, fallopian tubes and pelvis, in addition to the condition of the uterus. HSG can not only clarify whether the fallopian tubes are patent and the site of obstruction, but also understand the internal structure of the fallopian tubes. It is considered to be an important and indispensable method for the detection of tubal function because of the increase in diagnostic accuracy and decrease in side effects.
