Even though the reasons for infertility can be of different types, one of the most common reasons why women cannot conceive is because of blocked fallopian tubes. These tubes are pathways through which the eggs travel from the ovaries into the uterus.
When they are blocked, this process is impeded. This being said, today’s article will be focused on presenting the major reasons for this health problem and both conventional and natural treatment options.
What Are the Causes of Blocked Fallopian Tubes?
Before we explain the main reasons, we need to note that there are several types of blockages. Namely, the tubes have distinct parts and each of the tubes’ section has its own name.
Medically speaking, there are some traumas or illnesses which may impact some areas of the tubes more than others. Check out the list below to see the main potential causes:
- Proximal tubal occlusion- it involves the isthmus and it may happen due to an infection caused by complications with abortion, C-section or missed miscarriage.
- Mid-segment tubal obstruction- because of tubal ligation damage. This surgical procedure is performed to permanently avert pregnancy.
- Distal tubal occlusion- this blockage happens in the part of the tube end, towards the ovary.
- Other potential causes include uterine fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, lower abdomen surgery complications, etc.
Medical Treatments of Blocked Fallopian Tubes
- Surgical procedures through open abdominal surgery or laparoscopy
- A removal procedure of a part of the tube and a new opening is made nearest the ovary (the effect is short-term; usually another blockage happens after three to six months
- Fimbrioplasty or surgical procedure for rebuilding the fimbriae
- Selective tubal cannulation
- Tubal ligation or removal of a part of the fallopian tube and two ends are reattached to form a whole tube
