What are the symptoms of blocked fallopian tubes?
Disease description:
I have a friend who is 30 years old. She has recently been preparing for pregnancy, but during a recent hospital checkup, she discovered that one of her fallopian tubes is blocked. Could you please explain what symptoms are associated with fallopian tube blockage?

Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
The main symptoms of fallopian tube blockage include the following:
1. Abdominal discomfort: There may be a dull or dragging pain in the lower abdomen, or back pain, which may worsen after physical exertion.
2. Irregular menstruation: Menstrual irregularities such as infrequent periods, excessive or reduced menstrual flow, or even amenorrhea may occur, possibly due to ovarian dysfunction caused by inflammation.
3. Infertility: Fallopian tube blockage can interfere with the union of sperm and egg as well as the transportation of the fertilized egg, leading to infertility, particularly secondary infertility is common.
4. Abnormal vaginal discharge: The vagina may produce abnormal secretions, accompanied by increased leukorrhea, foul odor, or purulent discharge.
5. Dysmenorrhea: Due to pelvic congestion and淤blood-related pain, some women may experience abdominal pain starting a week before menstruation, with increasing severity as the menstrual period approaches, lasting until menstruation begins.
