The fallopian tubes, also known as oviducts or uterine tubes are part of the female reproductive structure. Each month, they transport eggs (ova) from the ovary to the uterus. If the egg is not fertilized, it along with the endometrium is shed during menstruation. If fertilization takes place, the ovum implants in the endometrium and develops into the womb.

 

A female’s reproductive system is more complex having more parts than a male’s. And different issues in their reproductive system can cause infertility. One of those issues is tubal blockage. When tubes are blocked, a woman can have trouble getting pregnant.

 

The uterine tubes connect the ovaries and the uterus. The ovum travels through the uterine tube to reach the uterus. Damaged or blocked fallopian tubes can act as a barrier to the passage of the ovum. Because of this barrier, the ovum may not reach the uterus.

And it is quite interesting that fertilization usually takes place in the fallopian tube. Sperm penetrates the ovum usually in the fallopian tube. So, any blockage in the fallopian tube may not let the sperm fertilize the egg.

 

Symptoms of blocked fallopian tube

Hydrosalpinx, a blockage due to fluid in the fallopian tube, often causes pain. But in most cases, symptoms are not found. Many women came to know about the blockage when they have infertility issues. In simple words, there are no exact symptoms. But, if a woman is having any symptom that could indicate the issues related to the uterus, she should consult a doctor.

• Painful urination (during menstruation)
• Painful bowel movement (during menstruation)
• Pain during and after sexual mating
• Spotting between periods
• Constant pain in the pelvis or the lower abdomen
• pain that is more than normal during menstruation
• intestinal pain
• nausea, diarrhea or vomiting

 

Causes of blocked fallopian tube

 A few factors that could be responsible for the blockage in the fallopian tube are:

• An ectopic pregnancy. Post ectopic pregnancy, a woman might face this issue. In an ectopic pregnancy, the embryo implants outside the uterus (mainly in the fallopian tube) rather than in the endometrium. This pregnancy can cause damage to the fallopian tube.
• Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Infectious diseases may also harm the fallopian tubes. Infectious diseases can be transmitted by sexual intercourse. Therefore, one must be careful about the health and hygiene of one’s genitals and must also refrain the risk of unsafe sex.
• Pelvic adhesions. Scar tissues can stick to the areas of the uterus. They can even stick in the fallopian tube. This could cause blockage in the uterine tube. Scar tissues can come into being because of an infection, surgery or injury. Adhesions can take place in the fallopian tube, uterus, intestine, ovaries and bladder.
• Endometriosis. The growth of the endometrial cells in the fallopian tubes can also cause a tubal blockage. Endometrial cells can also grow in the ovaries and cause damage to them.

 

Tests done to detect the tubal blockage

• Ultrasound. High-frequency sound waves are used to get the images of the inside. The doctor can also suggest a transvaginal ultrasound in which the equipment is inserted through the cervix.
• Laparoscopy.  A tiny incision is made by the surgeon and with the help of a camera attached to a tiny tube; the doctor tries to detect the blockage. 
• Hysterosalpingogram (HSG).  A special dye is poured through the cervix and at the same time the flow is also observed with the help of an X-ray. The doctor could doubt the fallopian tube blockage by observing the flow.
• A sonohysterosalpingography:  In this test, sterile air along with saline fluid is passed towards the uterus through the cervix. At the same time, the doctor performs a transvaginal ultrasound to detect any blockage in the tube.
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This medical imaging technique is used in radiology to form images of the inside of the body. It uses strong magnetic fields, radio waves and magnetic field gradients to form pictures.
