Understanding Fallopian Tube Obstruction and Your Options for Pregnancy
Blockage in the tubes also referred to as factor infertility is a common reason for female infertility. This condition occurs when either one or both of the tubes become obstructed. These slender tubes serve as a link between the ovaries and the uterus in the process. Their function involves facilitating the journey of an egg from the ovary, to the uterus and enabling sperm to reach and fertilize the egg. When a fallopian tube is blocked it can hinder the occurrence of pregnancy.
Symptoms of Fallopian Tube Obstruction

Many women may not experience any symptoms due to the blockage of their tubes. It is often when attempting to conceive that they discover this issue. The primary indication of blocked tubes is infertility, defined as the inability to become pregnant after one year of trying (or six months for those aged 35 and above).
In instances blocked tubes can result in pelvic discomfort. This pain might occur on one or both sides of the abdomen. May intensify during menstruation. Additionally a blocked fallopian tube can lead to a pregnancy, where a pregnancy develops outside the uterus in a fallopian tube. Symptoms of a pregnancy may include:
- pelvic pain, usually, on one side
- Vaginal bleeding
- Shoulder discomfort
- Nausea and vomiting
Diagnosis
Diagnosing fallopian tube obstruction involves several steps:
- Hysterosalpingography (HSG): This procedure uses an X ray. A contrast dye to identify any obstructions, in the uterus and fallopian tubes.
- Sonohysterography: By injecting fluid into the uterus ultrasound imaging can provide a picture of the organs.
- Laparoscopy: This invasive surgery involves inserting a camera into the pelvis to directly examine the tubes for any blockages..
