Procedure for Blocked Fallopian Tubes

Blocked fallopian tubes are most often discovered by a hysterosalpingogram or during laparoscopy. The most common causes are infections of the tubes that have occurred in the past (often without symptoms), diseases which cause inflammation in the pelvis such as inflammatory bowel diseases or ruptured appendix, or rarely, endometriosis and other conditions.

Most often, surgery to fix blocked tubes is ineffective, and most patients with this condition are best treated by in-vitro fertilization.
