Blocked fallopian tubes are a major cause of infertility in women, affecting about 25-35% of female infertility cases. The tubes can get blocked due to infections like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), endometriosis, or scarring from previous surgeries or ectopic pregnancies
Causes of Blocked Fallopian Tubes:
- Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): Often caused by STIs like chlamydia or gonorrhea
- Endometriosis: Tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, potentially affecting the tubes
- Previous Surgeries: Adhesions or scar tissue from surgeries like C-sections or ovarian cyst removal
- Ectopic Pregnancy: Can cause scarring and blockage
- Congenital Abnormalities: Rarely, women are born with blocked or malformed tubes
Symptoms and Diagnosis:
- Often asymptomatic, but may experience pelvic pain, irregular periods, or infertility
- Diagnosed through hysterosalpingography (HSG), ultrasound, or laparoscopy
Treatment Options:
- Surgery: Laparoscopic surgery to remove blockages or repair tubes
- Tubal Cannulation: Procedure to open blocked tubes
- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): Fertilization outside the body, bypassing the tubes
