Blocked Fallopian Tubes

The fallopian tube is where fertilization of the egg occurs. During a natural pregnancy, the sperm and the egg fertilize into an embryo in the fallopian tube. If both or one of the tubes are blocked, fertilization is prevented. In some cases, the “hair like” structures, called fimbriae, at the end of the tubes may be damaged. If the fimbriae are damaged, they cannot pick up the egg.

What are the causes of blocked fallopian tubes?

Some of the most common causes of blocked fallopian tubes include:

• Endometriosis
• Pelvic infections
• Ectopic pregnancies
• Fibroids
