Tubal Blockage
What Is Fallopian Tube Blockage?
There are 2 healthy fallopian tubes present in a normal female body. Blocked fallopian tubes are a possible cause for female infertility. Fallopian Tube Blockage is also called Hydrosalpinx, in which the end part of the female’s tube is filled with fluid and gets swollen. The swelling happens where the tube connects the ovaries preventing the eggs and the sperms to travel, which results in female infertility.
What are the Causes of Blocked Fallopian Tubes?
- The fallopian tubes are a pair of thin, muscular tubes connecting the ovaries to the uterus. They play a crucial role in fertilization by carrying the released egg from the ovary to the uterus.
- Fallopian tube blockage refers to an obstruction in these tubes, preventing the egg and sperm from meeting, thus hindering conception.
- At Matrika Heritage Hospital, we offer treatment for blocked fallopian tubes, i.e. tubal blockage treatment. We also offer expert guidance and help you to know more about the symptoms, causes and treatment options for this problem.
- Here are some common causes behind blocked fallopian tubes:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) arises as a consequence of untreated sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or other untreated infections. The primary culprits behind PID are usually gonorrhoea or chlamydia. The infection triggers inflammation in the vicinity of the fallopian tubes, giving rise to the formation of scar tissue and blockages.
Previous surgical procedures can lead to damage or obstruction of the fallopian tubes. Specifically, surgeries performed to address medical conditions such as uterine fibroids or endometriosis, as well as other types of abdominal surgeries, can result in scarring that hampers the passage of an egg through the fallopian tubes.
Endometriosis is a condition where the tissue lining the uterus grows outside the uterus. This often affects the fallopian tubes. The presence of endometrial tissue in the fallopian tubes can cause blockages and disrupt the normal functioning of the tubes.
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the uterus, often in the fallopian tubes. The growth of the embryo in the fallopian tubes can cause damage and blockage.
Tubal ligation, also known as having one’s “tubes tied,” is a surgical procedure performed as a method of contraception. In some cases, the procedure may result in blockage or scarring of the fallopian tubes.
Some women may have congenital (present at birth) abnormalities in their fallopian tubes that can cause blockages. These abnormalities can include narrow tubes, tubal malformations, or abnormal growths.
Infections in the abdominal or pelvic area, such as appendicitis or pelvic tuberculosis, can also cause tubal blockage. They can lead to scarring and blockages in the fallopian tubes.
However, sometimes the cause of blocked fallopian tubes may not be apparent. In such cases, it is referred to as “unexplained” tubal factor infertility.
