Blocked Fallopian Tubes – An Overview
The thin tubes which carry mature eggs from ovaries to uterus are called fallopian tubes. They play a vital role in the fertilization process. Fertilization is the process that occurs when eggs reach uterus through fallopian tubes. Hence when Fallopian Tubes are blocked, eggs are unable to reach uterus which prevents fertilization from taking place and therefore results in failed pregnancy. Blockage of fallopian tubes is one of the prominent reasons behind infertility. 40% of the cases of infertility among women are a result of blockage of fallopian tubes.
Causes of Blocked Fallopian Tubes

• Past record of abdominal surgery
• Endometriosis
• Past record of Ectopic Pregnancy
