Fertility Treatments for Blocked Fallopian Tubes

Fertility Treatments for Blocked Fallopian Tubes

The female reproductive system is complex. One of the crucial parts of your reproductive system is the two fallopian tubes that connect your ovaries to the uterus. Each month, during your ovulation cycle, one mature egg is released into the fallopian tube. If it’s fertilized by a sperm, it will implant itself into the uterus. 

Fallopian tubes act as the pathway that facilitates egg fertilization and the successful implantation of the resulting embryo. If these tubes get blocked for any reason, you won’t be able to conceive naturally. In this post, we’ve discussed the popular treatment options for tubal occlusion and getting pregnant after treatment.

Symptoms of Blocked Fallopian Tubes

Tubal occlusion doesn’t cause any symptoms unless it occurs due to an underlying medical condition, like endometriosis. Most people know about their blocked fallopian tubes when they face difficulty getting pregnant naturally. If you have a blockage in these tubes due to endometriosis, you might experience painful menstruation, pelvic pain, and pain during intercourse.

Causes of Blocked Fallopian Tubes:

Your fallopian tubes can be blocked for various reasons, but most are linked to the scarring around the walls of these tubes. Here are the common causes.

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): PID can occur in women who contract sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia. If left untreated for a long time, the infection can cause inflammation in your pelvic organs, causing scarring and adhesion in your fallopian tubes.

Endometriosis: Endometrium—the tissues that grow in your uterine lining and shed during menstruation—can develop outside your uterus and in other reproductive organs. These tissues can attach to the fallopian tubes or surrounding areas, causing blockage. 

Previous Surgeries: Scarring in the tubes due to a previous pelvic surgery can also be the cause of blocked fallopian tubes. 

Uterine Fibroids: Although less common, uterine fibroids that grow near the fallopian tubes can block them, making it difficult for the egg to travel down the tubes. Surgery to remove fibroids can also cause scar tissue formation around the fallopian tubes, leading to their blockage.

Ectopic Pregnancy: A normal pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg is implanted into your uterus. Sometimes, the fertilized egg never leaves the fallopian tubes and starts growing. Since the tubes are small and narrow, they can rupture if the fertilized egg isn’t removed. The surgery to remove the egg or repair the ruptured fallopian tubes can cause scarring and blockage.

Diagnosis of Blocked Fallopian Tubes

Your healthcare provider will ask about your medical history and conduct a physical examination to identify an underlying condition that might block the fallopian tubes. 

These diagnostic tests can help detect tubal occlusion:

Hysterosalpingography (HSG): HSG is an X-ray test that involves the injection of a contrast dye into your uterus and fallopian tubes through the cervix. Your doctor will examine your pelvic organs to get a clear picture of the fallopian tubes. The test can detect any scarring or blockage.

Laparoscopy: Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure that can diagnose and treat blocked fallopian tubes. Your surgeon will make a small incision around your navel to get access to your reproductive organs. Laparoscopy is the most accurate way to diagnose tubal occlusion and its underlying cause. 

Sonohysterography (SHG): SHG is another less-invasive test that involves injecting a saline solution into the uterus. An ultrasound is conducted to examine your pelvic organs after saline injection.

Treatment Options for Blocked Fallopian Tubes

Treatment for a blocked fallopian tube depends on the severity of the blockage, your overall reproductive health, and your pregnancy goals. Usually, small scarring or adhesions can be surgically removed, and the tubes can be repaired. 

At Australian Concept Infertility Medical Center (ACIMC), you get the following treatment options for tubal occlusion: 

Salpingostomy

Tubal blockage due to pelvic inflammatory infection, endometriosis, and other medical conditions can be treated without having to remove the fallopian tubes. Salpingostomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which a new opening is created to facilitate a pathway for the fertilized egg to travel down the fallopian tubes and into the uterus.

Fimbrioplasty

Your fallopian tubes have fimbriae—finger-like growth that connects your ovaries to the tubes. Damage to the fimbriae can affect your fertility, as it will prevent the mature eggs from being released from the ovaries and entering your fallopian tubes. It works for women with damaged fimbriae. Your surgeon will locate the damage and remove scar tissues or adhesion. The fimbriae is then reconstructed.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

If there’s severe damage to your fallopian tubes and the repair seems impossible, you can consider In-vitro Fertilization (IVF). It’s a popular assisted reproductive technology that helps you have your biological child by fertilizing your eggs outside your uterus. 

Once fertilization occurs, one or more eggs are transferred back into your uterus for implantation. The procedure bypasses the fallopian tubes and makes pregnancy possible for women with tubal occlusion.

Whether it’s due to the fimbriae scarring or complete tube blockage, your fallopian tubes can be unblocked. Australian Concept assures you of successful treatment and a good chance at conception. 

Success Rates

It’s possible to conceive after the treatment for tubal occlusion. However, not all cases of fallopian tube blockages can be fixed. Sometimes, the patient might not be an ideal candidate for the surgery. IVF is your best bet to have a healthy pregnancy despite the blockage in the fallopian tubes. 

Around 10-80 percent of women have a successful pregnancy after treatment for blocked fallopian tubes. However, there’s no guarantee that you can conceive naturally. It depends on your age, the severity of the scar tissue formation, or other complications with your reproductive health. The success rate of the treatment can also vary from person to person.
