Blocked Fallopian Tube

Understanding Blocked Fallopian Tubes

Blocked Fallopian Tubes are a common cause of female infertility. The fallopian tubes play a crucial role in natural conception — they carry the egg from the ovaries to the uterus and are the site where fertilization occurs. Any blockage can prevent sperm from reaching the egg or stop the fertilized egg from reaching the uterus, resulting in infertility or ectopic pregnancy. At Phular IVF Hospital, Muzaffarpur, we specialize in diagnosing and treating tubal blockages to restore fertility and improve pregnancy chances.

What Are Blocked Fallopian Tubes?

The fallopian tubes are two thin tubes that connect the ovaries to the uterus. When one or both tubes are blocked, the passage of eggs, sperm, or fertilized eggs is obstructed. Blockage can occur at any point — near the ovary, in the middle, or near the uterus.

Common Causes of Blocked Fallopian Tubes

  • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): Infections that damage or scar the tubes.
  • Endometriosis: Endometrial tissue can grow around or inside the tubes causing blockage.
  • Previous Pelvic or Abdominal Surgery: Scar tissue (adhesions) may block the tubes.
  • Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Especially chlamydia and gonorrhea.
  • Tuberculosis (Genital TB): A major cause of tubal blockage in developing countries.
  • Congenital Defects: Rarely, tubes may be malformed from birth.

Symptoms of Blocked Fallopian Tubes

Blocked fallopian tubes often do not cause noticeable symptoms until a woman tries to conceive. However, some women may experience:

  • Difficulty in conceiving or repeated failed pregnancies
  • Pelvic pain, especially during menstruation
  • Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)
  • Abnormal vaginal discharge (if infection is present)
  • In rare cases, ectopic pregnancy due to partial blockage

Diagnosis of Blocked Fallopian Tubes at Phular IVF

  • HSG (Hysterosalpingography): A specialized X-ray test to check if tubes are open or blocked.
  • Sonohysterography: Ultrasound with saline to view the uterus and tubes.
  • Laparoscopy: A minimally invasive surgery to directly view and possibly correct blockages.
  • Pelvic Ultrasound: To detect associated problems like fibroids or endometriosis.

Treatment Options for Blocked Fallopian Tubes

  • Medication & Antibiotics: To treat infections causing inflammation.
  • Laparoscopic Surgery: To remove scar tissue, open blockages, or repair damaged tubes.
  • Salpingectomy: Removal of a severely damaged tube to prevent ectopic pregnancy.
  • IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization): The best option if tubes are severely damaged or both are blocked.
  • Hydrotubation Therapy: Non-surgical flushing procedure in mild cases.

Fertility Support at Phular IVF Hospital

Our fertility experts at Phular IVF Hospital assess the severity of blockage and design a personalized treatment plan. For women with complete blockage, IVF treatment offers excellent success rates, as it bypasses the fallopian tubes entirely. We use advanced imaging and laparoscopic techniques to ensure the best outcomes for every patient.
