Fallopian tubes are an important site for the sperm-egg binding, and their normal functioning serves as a prerequisite for natural conception. Obstruction of fallopian tubes, a kind of common disease, is also one of the main causes of infertility. 

It is urgently hoped by such patients to unblock the obstructed fallopian tubes and restore the reproductive functions. Obstruction of fallopian tubes is mostly caused by inflammation. With increasing infection in reproductive system, especially in the “items” of infection sources, the patients troubled with obstruction of fallopian tubes also grow day by day. 

The infertile women caused by obstructed fallopian tubes and hydro salpinx account for 30-40% of all the infertile population. Among the factors of infection, there is general bacterial infection as well as some special pathogen infection caused by chlamydia trachomatis, urea plasma urealyticum, mycoplasma hominis, and protozoon. Thus accurate diagnosis and optimum chosen therapy are critical for the treatment of infertility. 

Now the common ways of diagnosis include hysterosalpingography, hysterosalpingo contrast sonography, gynecological endoscope, serological chlamydia examination. A variety of therapies are available, which are dominated by hysteroscope, laparoscope, and interventional therapy. 

Other therapies available include use of traditional Chinese medicine and psychological interventional therapy. The paper gave a brief review of diagnosis and treatment of the infertility caused by obstruction of fallopian tubes, and illustrated the merits, demerits and corresponding clinical application of each therapy, respectively.

 Blocked fallopian tubes Treatments:

If your fallopian tubes are blocked by small amounts of scar tissue or adhesions, then we can use laparoscopic surgery to remove the blockage and open the tubes. If your fallopian tubes are blocked by large amounts of scar tissue or adhesions, treatment to remove the blockages may not be possible.

Surgery to repair tubes damaged by ectopic pregnancy or infection may be an option. If a blockage is caused because part of the fallopian tube is damaged, Then our surgeon can remove the damaged part and connect the two healthy parts.
