Can someone with blocked fallopian tubes menstruate?

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.

  1. Menstruation occurs because the uterus sheds its lining each month if there is no pregnancy.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 34 weeks pregnant and many soon-to-be moms I know are being advised to get Betnesol injections. My OB-GYN hasnt mentioned it to me. Is it something I should be worried about or consider taking, or is it not necessary?

Hello, congratulations on your pregnancy! Betnesol injections are often given to help mature the babys lungs if theres a risk of preterm birth, but they are not always necessary for everyone. Since your OB-GYN hasn't suggested it, it likely means they don't see the need at this stage, but it's always a good idea to discuss any concerns with your doctor.

I'm currently using an inhaler called Budamate 200, and I'm just entering my first trimester of pregnancy. I'm worried if it's safe to continue using it during these early months. Could it affect the baby in any way?

Budamate 200, containing budesonide, is classified as a category C medication in pregnancy, meaning its safety is uncertain; however, studies suggest that inhaled corticosteroids like budesonide are generally considered safe during pregnancy, especially when used at low to moderate doses, but consult gynaecologist
