Fallopian tube blockage

Fallopian Tube Blockage is a significant cause of infertility in women. It occurs when one or both fallopian tubes are blocked, preventing the egg from traveling from the ovary to the uterus.

Causes of Fallopian Tube Blockage

Blockages can be caused by various factors, including:

  • Infections:

    • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

    • Sexually transmitted infections (e.g., chlamydia, gonorrhea)

  • Surgical Procedures:

    • Previous abdominal or pelvic surgery

    • Ectopic pregnancy surgery

  • Medical Conditions:

    • Endometriosis

    • Fibroids

    • Hydrosalpinx (fluid-filled fallopian tube)

Diagnosis of Fallopian Tube Blockage

At MMC IVF, we diagnose fallopian tube blockage through a series of evaluations to pinpoint the exact cause. Our methods include:

  • Hysterosalpingography (HSG):

    • An X-ray procedure to check the inside of the fallopian tubes and uterus

  • Laparoscopy:

    • A minimally invasive surgical procedure to view the fallopian tubes directly

  • Sonohysterography:

    • An ultrasound procedure to examine the uterus and fallopian tubes

Treatment Options for Fallopian Tube Blockage

Addressing fallopian tube blockage requires a personalized approach based on the identified causes. Here are some options we offer at MMC IVF:

  • Medications:

    • Antibiotics to treat infections

  • Surgical Interventions:

    • Laparoscopic surgery to remove blockages or repair the tubes

    • Tubal cannulation to open blocked tubes

  • Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART):

    • In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) to bypass the fallopian tubes entirely
