Can someone with blocked fallopian tubes menstruate?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, blocked fallopian tubes interfere with the passage of ovum and thus may lessen the chances of pregnancy. Menstruation occurs when one shreds a layer of uterus and blocked fallopian tubes may not interfere with it.

A 30-year-old female with blocked fallopian tubes can still have menstrual periods. The menstrual cycle is controlled by the ovaries and the uterus, not the fallopian tubes.
- Menstruation occurs because the uterus sheds its lining each month if there is no pregnancy.
- Blocked fallopian tubes affect the ability of the egg to travel from the ovary to the uterus, which can cause infertility, but do not stop the uterus from shedding its lining.
- Therefore, menstruation usually continues normally even if the fallopian tubes are blocked.
If there are changes in menstrual patterns or other symptoms, it is important to consult a gynecologist for evaluation and personalized advice.

I'm experiencing severe pain in my thighs and entire leg, and a 5 cm cyst was found in Vadodara. The doctor is recommending surgery to remove my ovary, but I'm unmarried and would prefer laparoscopic surgery. Can you advise if this is the right approach and suggest any specialist doctors or hospitals for this procedure in Ahmedabad or Delhi?
Laparoscopic surgery is a safe and fertility-sparing option—seek a gynecologist in Ahmedabad or Delhi with minimally invasive expertise.
