Blocked Fallopian Tube Treatment – Restoring Your Path to Parenthood
Fallopian tubes play a crucial role in conception, as they are the pathway through which the egg travels to meet the sperm for fertilization. When one or both tubes are blocked, it can cause infertility and make natural conception difficult.
At Radha Hospital & Fertility Center, Dr. Aishwarya Yerram provides advanced diagnostic and treatment options to unblock or bypass fallopian tube issues, giving couples a better chance of achieving pregnancy.
What is a Blocked Fallopian Tube?
Fallopian tubes are two thin tubes that connect the ovaries to the uterus. They play a vital role in pregnancy by allowing the egg to travel from the ovary to the uterus, where fertilization usually occurs.
When one or both fallopian tubes are blocked, the egg cannot meet the sperm, making natural conception difficult or impossible.
A blockage may be caused by
Some common reasons include:
Pelvic Infections (e.g., pelvic inflammatory disease).
Endometriosis causing scar tissue formation.
Previous pelvic or abdominal surgeries.
Tuberculosis of the reproductive tract (in rare cases).
Congenital abnormalities (present from birth).
Symptoms of Blocked Fallopian Tubes
In many cases, there are no obvious symptoms. Some women may experience:
Difficulty conceiving (primary sign).
Pelvic pain, especially during periods or intercourse.
Unusual vaginal discharge (if due to infection).
How Are Blocked Fallopian Tubes Diagnosed?
Hysterosalpingography (HSG): An X-ray test using dye to check for blockages.
Sonohysterography (Saline Infusion Sonography): An ultrasound test for the uterus and tubes.
Hysteroscopy & Laparoscopy: Minimally invasive procedures for direct visualization and treatment.
Treatment Options for Blocked Fallopian Tubes
Medical Management:
If infection is the cause, antibiotics are prescribed.
2. Surgical Treatments:
Laparoscopic Surgery: Removes scar tissue or adhesions blocking the tubes.
Tuboplasty: Reconstructive surgery to open partially blocked tubes.
Salpingectomy: Removal of severely damaged tubes before IVF to improve success rates.
3. Assisted Reproductive Techniques:
If surgery isn’t successful or feasible, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is often recommended to bypass the tubes entirely.
