Dr. B. S. Bhalla	Fallopian tube blockage is a common cause of infertility, but the good news is that there are several treatment options available depending on the severity and location of the blockage. Here's a doctor-guided suggestion in simple 300 words: Treatment Options for Fallopian Tube Blockage Fallopian tube blockage can occur due to infections (like pelvic inflammatory disease), endometriosis, previous surgery, or other conditions. When the tubes are blocked, the egg cannot meet the sperm, leading to infertility. Treatment depends on how much of the tube is damaged and where the blockage is located (near the uterus, middle of the tube, or near the ovary). Hysterosalpingography (HSG): This is both a diagnostic and sometimes therapeutic procedure. It involves injecting a dye into the uterus and fallopian tubes. In some cases, the pressure of the dye can clear minor blockages. Tubal Cannulation: If the blockage is near the uterine end of the fallopian tube, doctors can use a fine catheter through the cervix to open the tube. This is a non-surgical procedure done under imaging guidance. Laparoscopic Surgery: If the tubes are blocked due to adhesions, infections, or endometriosis, laparoscopy can help remove scar tissue and open the tubes. This minimally invasive surgery offers better chances of restoring fertility. Tubal Reanastomosis: If a portion of the tube is damaged, doctors may remove that section and reconnect the healthy ends. This is more suitable if the blockage is limited and the rest of the tube is healthy. IVF (In Vitro Fertilization): If both tubes are completely blocked or damaged beyond repair, IVF is the best option. In IVF, fertilization happens outside the body, and the embryo is placed directly in the uterus.
