Have you ever wondered if your habits might be affecting your fertility? Blocked fallopian tubes don’t happen overnight—they can often be prevented with the right care.
What Causes Blocked Tubes?
Common causes include:
• Infections: Untreated STIs like chlamydia or gonorrhea and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
• Endometriosis: Abnormal tissue growth can damage or block the tubes.
• Surgery Scars: Scarring from pelvic or abdominal surgeries.
How Can You Prevent This?
Protect your fertility with these steps:
1. Prevent Infections: Use protection, get regular STI tests, and treat infections immediately.
2. Maintain Pelvic Health: Avoid douching and support your immune system with a healthy diet.
3. Know Your Body: Watch for symptoms like pelvic pain or unusual discharge and see a doctor early.
4. Get Regular Checkups: Routine pelvic exams can catch issues before they escalate.
5. Manage Endometriosis: Work with your doctor to control symptoms and prevent damage.
Why It Matters
Blocked fallopian tubes don’t just affect fertility—they can lead to complications like ectopic pregnancy. Prevention is easier than treatment, so stay proactive and take control of your reproductive health today!
