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.

View allI've just realized I took Primolut for five days without knowing I was pregnant. I'm really nervous about whether this could affect my baby. Can you help me understand what to expect?
- taking Primolut (norethisterone) early in pregnancy is unlikely to harm your baby, but it's essential to stop it immediately now that you know. Please consult your OB-GYN for a detailed evaluation and guidance to ensure both your and your baby's health.

Why do periods change dates?
Periods are dependant on hormones and every month period date may change slightly based on the hormone variations. For this reason, if next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle.
