Do patients with blocked fallopian tubes have ovarian follicles?
Disease description:
I recently felt a sensation of abdominal heaviness, so I went to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor told me that my fallopian tubes are blocked. So, do patients with blocked fallopian tubes still have ovarian follicles?

Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
Patients with blocked fallopian tubes still have ovarian follicles. Fallopian tube obstruction refers to blockage within the fallopian tubes, preventing sperm and egg from meeting normally; however, it does not affect ovarian function. Women should maintain proper external genital hygiene and take precautions against infections from sanitary products and toilets. In sexual activity, both individuals and their partners must pay attention to personal hygiene. Before intercourse, both male and female genitalia should be cleaned thoroughly to effectively prevent bacterial invasion.
