Title: Pelvic inflammatory Disease - Infertility Post by: blondibear on Apr 18, 2021 I am stuck on this homework question, I'm not sure if I am stuck on the wording but I am thinking between C and D. My studies have shown that both the egg and the sperm enter the fallopian tube that has been blocked by damage so I am totally confused. Any explanation is greatly appreciated.
Untreated chlamydia and gonorrhea can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease in women. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) can cause a buildup of scar tissue on the Fallopian tubes. Women affected with PID can become infertile because Select one: a. the fertilized egg cannot implant on the endometrium b. the ovaries cannot secrete the necessary hormones to support an embryo c. the ovum cannot be swept into the Fallopian tube d. sperm is blocked from entering the Fallopian tubes to fertilize the egg Title: Re: Pelvic inflammatory Disease - Infertility Post by: luhhshortiee on Apr 18, 2021 Hi, I like your username!
Quote Untreated chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause pelvic inflammatory disease in women. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) can cause an accumulation of scar tissue in the fallopian tubes. Women affected with PID can become infertile because A. The egg cannot be pulled into the fallopian tube I believe the answer is (A) -- If PID infects the fallopian tubes, it can scar the lining of the tubes, making it more difficult for eggs to pass through. If a fertilized egg gets stuck and begins to grow inside the tube, it can cause the tube to burst, which can sometimes lead to severe and life-threatening internal bleeding.

Title: Re: Pelvic inflammatory Disease - Infertility Post by: blondibear on Apr 18, 2021 Your answer is incorrect.
The Fallopian tubes may become blocked from untreated chlamydia and gonorrhea. If the Fallopian tubes become blocked, then the egg cannot pass into the womb and the sperm is unable to move in the opposite direction to reach the egg. The correct answer is: sperm is blocked from entering the Fallopian tubes to fertilize the egg Apparently it cannot even enter according to this assignment...

Thanks for the feedback
Title: Re: Pelvic inflammatory Disease - Infertility Post by: blondibear on Apr 19, 2021 I think I am going to have to call my teacher tomorrow and get a breakdown, the wording on that cannot be correct. "Blocked from entering"...
