Fallopian tube obstruction – how to treat?

In today’s article, we will look at tubal obstruction, its causes, symptoms and possible treatments. The fallopian tubes play a key role in the reproductive process in women, so their proper functioning is extremely important.

What functions do the fallopian tubes perform?

The fallopian tubes, also called salpinx, are thin tubes about 10-15 centimeters long that connect the ovary to the uterus. Their main role is to transport the egg to the uterus and the place where the egg is fertilized by the sperm. The fallopian tubes therefore play a key role in the reproductive process.

When can fallopian tube obstruction occur?

Fallopian tube obstruction can occur for a variety of reasons. One of the most common factors is infection, which leads to scarring or narrowing of the fallopian tubes. Other causes include endometriosis, adhesions after gynecological surgery or mechanical damage.

When should you start to suspect tubal obstruction?

If a woman has difficulty conceiving, despite regular unprotected sexual intercourse for several months, it is worth suspecting that the fallopian tubes are blocked. Other symptoms may include abdominal pain, especially around the ovaries, and irregular bleeding.

How is tubal obstruction diagnosed?

Diagnosing fallopian tube obstruction requires specialized tests. The most commonly used method is hysterosalpingography, which involves introducing contrast into the uterus and observing its flow through the fallopian tubes using X-rays. Other methods include laparoscopy or ultrasound examination.

How is tubal obstruction treated?

The treatment method for tubal obstruction depends on the cause and severity of the condition. In some cases, drug treatment is possible, for example for infections. However, in more advanced cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to remove adhesions or scars, or reconstruct the fallopian tubes.
