Did you know blocked fallopian tubes are a major cause of female infertility? Understanding their role can change your fertility journey.
Why Are Fallopian Tubes Important?
They’re the pathway for eggs to travel from the ovaries to the uterus. Fertilization happens here when the sperm meets the egg. If the tubes are blocked:
• Partial Blockage: Fertilization may not occur, or complications like ectopic pregnancy can happen.
• Complete Blockage: Natural conception becomes impossible.
How Does This Affect Fertility?
• Difficulty conceiving naturally.
• Increased risk of ectopic pregnancy.
• Reduced IVF success due to fluid buildup (hydrosalpinx).
Can You Still Get Pregnant?
Yes, but:
• One Blocked Tube: Pregnancy is possible, but harder.
• Both Tubes Blocked: IVF or surgery may be needed.
What Should You Do?
Tests like HSG or laparoscopy can help identify blockages. Treatment options include surgery or IVF.
Blocked tubes don’t mean the end—take control of your fertility today and work toward your dream of parenthood!
