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 a bit concerned because I've had to take the morning-after pill three times this month, and now I'm worried since I haven't gotten my period yet. It's been five days since I took the last pill. Is it normal for my period to be delayed because of this, or should I be worried about something else?
It is common for the menstrual cycle to be disrupted after taking emergency contraception multiple times in a month. The delay in your period could be due to the hormonal changes caused by the repeated use of ipill. However, if you are concerned about the delay in your period, you can consider taking a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. If you continue to experience irregular periods or have concerns, it is advisable to consult a gynecologist for further evaluation and management.
