Blocked fallopian tubes, medically known as tubal occlusion or fallopian tube obstruction, are a common cause of infertility in women. The condition involves the blockage of one or both fallopian tubes, preventing the egg from traveling from the ovary to the uterus, and thus hindering fertilization and pregnancy.
Causes of blockage can range from infections and endometriosis to scar tissue from surgery or ectopic pregnancy. This condition underscores the intricate balance required within the reproductive system for conception to occur successfully.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), blocked fallopian tubes are viewed as a manifestation of underlying disharmonies within the body's energy systems. TCM does not directly translate modern medical conditions but instead focuses on correcting imbalances in Qi, Blood, Yin, and Yang that contribute to symptoms. Identifying and addressing the patterns of disharmony is pivotal in TCM treatment, aiming to restore balance and fertility.
