Blocked fallopian tubes are one possible cause of female infertility.
There are usually no symptoms, but there are some risk factors that can increase the chance of developing the condition. The medical term for a blocked fallopian tube is tubal occlusion.
The fallopian tubes are muscular tubes that are lined with delicate hair-like structures. These โhairsโ work in both directions; helping an egg to travel from the ovaries down to the womb (uterus) and helping s***m travel up from the womb.
Each fallopian tube ends in fimbriae, which are finger-like structures. The fimbriae catch and guide an egg when the o***y releases it.
The fallopian tubes play an important role in conception because they are where most eggs are fertilized.
If any part of the fallopian tube is damaged, for example by surgery or an infection, they can become blocked by scar tissue.
Fallopian tubes connect the ovaries to the uterus and play an important role in fertility.
Symptoms
Blocked fallopian tubes do not often present symptoms other than difficulty conceiving. Doctors typically class this as having tried to conceive for 1 year without success.
A blocked fallopian tube may cause some women to experience symptoms such as pain in the pelvis or belly. This pain might happen regularly, such as around the time of their period, or be constant.
Sometimes, a blockage in a fallopian tube can cause a fertilized egg to get stuck. This is known as an ectopic pregnancy.
An ectopic pregnancy may not always cause symptoms and is usually detected during a scan. However, some woman may experience signs of pregnancy, such as stomach pain on one side of the body, or vaginal bleeding. Any woman who suspects she has an ectopic pregnancy should seek immediate medical attention.
Causes
Fallopian tubes can become blocked for a range of reasons, which include:
a history of pelvic infection.
a previous burst appendix.
having had a s*xually transmitted disease, such as gonorrhea or chlamydia.
endometriosis, a condition that causes the lining of the womb to grow outside of the uterus.
history of abdominal surgery
hydrosalpinx, which is swelling and fluid at the end of a fallopian tube.
All of these conditions can affect the fallopian tubes directly or this area of the body. In most cases, these conditions or procedures create scar tissue that can block the tubes.
