Tubal
Tubal refers to anything related to the Fallopian tube, a part of the female reproductive system. The term is often used in the context of medical conditions and procedures that involve the Fallopian tubes.
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The Fallopian tubes are two thin tubes, one on each side of the uterus, which help lead the mature egg from the ovaries to the uterus. Each tube is about 10 cm in length. The Fallopian tubes play a crucial role in the process of fertilization.
Medical Conditions[edit | edit source]
Several medical conditions can affect the Fallopian tubes, including:
- Tubal ligation: A surgical procedure for sterilization in which a woman's Fallopian tubes are clamped and blocked, or severed and sealed, either method of which prevents eggs from reaching the uterus for implantation.
- Tubal pregnancy: Also known as an ectopic pregnancy, this is a complication of pregnancy in which the embryo attaches outside the uterus, often in the Fallopian tube.
- Salpingitis: This is inflammation of the Fallopian tubes, often caused by bacterial infection. It can lead to serious complications, including infertility, if not treated.
Medical Procedures[edit | edit source]
Several medical procedures involve the Fallopian tubes, including:
- Tubal ligation reversal: This is a procedure to restore fertility after a woman has had a tubal ligation — a procedure that cuts or blocks the Fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy.
- Salpingectomy: This is the surgical removal of one or both of a woman's Fallopian tubes. It is often performed to treat complications of pelvic inflammatory disease, or to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer.
