Fallopian tube obstruction accounts for 25–35% of all causes of infertility, which allows one to attribute this pathology to a very common one among the gynecological diseases. Modern medical literature abounds with works devoted to the clinical presentations of tubal infertility; however, the study presented by the authors considers this somatic pathology to be closely related to the psychological state of patients. For the first time, preventive measures of infertility are announced, which are based on a causal relationship between a woman’s lifestyle and the development of fallopian tube obstruction. The authors have been motivated to carry out this analysis by the fact that there is psychological stress on the female body due to prolonged treatment of this pathology and to a lower quality of life in infertile patients who consider childbirth to be a major social responsibility. The findings are designed to form a versatile view of the problem of fallopian tube obstruction as a result of a distorted worldview in some contemporary women, to initiate the development of necessary ideas about the importance of protecting the health of the reproductive system long before planning pregnancy, to outline the importance of the psychoemotional status of a woman in the diagnosis of her psychological profile.
Conclusion. The above problems are extremely important for married couples to get ready to conceive.
