At Dr. Mannan IVF Centre in Delhi, I often meet couples who are deeply distressed after learning they have blocked fallopian tubes. It can feel like a physical roadblock on your journey to parenthood.
With over 10 years of experience in treating such cases, hearing this diagnosis often brings a sense of finality and confusion. My first goal is always to replace that fear with clarity and hope.
A tubal blockage is a mechanical issue, but it does not have to be the end of your fertility story. In fact, it is one of the conditions for which modern reproductive medicine offers some of the clearest and most effective solutions.
Let me walk you through what blocked fallopian tubes are, how we diagnose them, and the advanced treatments we provide right here in Delhi to help you bypass this obstacle.
Key Takeaways
- A Common Issue: Tubal factor infertility accounts for up to 30% of female infertility cases. You are not facing this alone.
- Diagnosis is Precise: We use specific tests like HSG or laparoscopy to accurately identify blockages.
- Effective Solutions Exist: IVF is an excellent treatment that completely bypasses the fallopian tubes, offering high success rates.
- Expert Care is Crucial: Managing tubal issues requires a specialist who can guide you to the safest and most effective treatment path.
What Are Blocked Fallopian Tubes?
The fallopian tubes are two delicate, thin channels that connect your ovaries to your uterus. They play a vital role in conception. Each month, when an ovary releases an egg, the fallopian tube picks it up.
This is where the egg meets the sperm for fertilisation. The newly formed embryo then travels down the tube to the uterus to implant and grow.
When a fallopian tube is blocked, this pathway is obstructed. The egg cannot meet the sperm, or if fertilisation does occur, the embryo cannot reach the uterus. A blockage can occur in one tube (unilateral) or both (bilateral). If both tubes are completely blocked, natural conception is impossible.
What Causes Fallopian Tubes to Become Blocked?
Tubal blockage is often the result of scarring or damage from a previous condition. The most common causes include:
- Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): This is the leading cause. PID is an infection of the reproductive organs, often caused by sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia or gonorrhoea.
Even a silent or untreated infection from years ago can cause significant scarring. - Endometriosis: In this condition, tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, including on or around the fallopian tubes. This can cause adhesions and blockages.
- Previous Surgeries: Abdominal or pelvic surgeries, such as for an appendix removal or an ovarian cyst, can sometimes lead to adhesions that block the tubes.
- Ectopic Pregnancy: A previous pregnancy that implanted in the fallopian tube can cause damage and scarring to that tube.
- Fibroids: Large fibroids growing near the opening of the fallopian tubes into the uterus can sometimes block them.
Recognising the Symptoms: The Silent Condition
One of the most challenging aspects of blocked fallopian tubes is that they rarely cause any symptoms.
Most women have no idea their tubes are blocked until they face difficulties conceiving. For many, infertility is the only sign.
In rare cases involving fluid buildup (hydrosalpinx), a woman might experience persistent pelvic pain or unusual discharge.
How We Diagnose Blocked Fallopian Tubes?
To determine if your tubes are open, we need to visualise them. At our Delhi centre, we use specialised, safe procedures for an accurate diagnosis.
Hysterosalpingogram (HSG)
The most common initial test. This is an X-ray procedure using a special dye to see if the tubes are open (patent).
If the tubes are open, the dye will flow through them and spill into the pelvic cavity, which is visible on the X-ray.
It gives us a clear picture of the shape of your uterus and the patency of your tubes.
Saline Infusion Sonography (SIS) or Sonohysterosalpingography (SHG)
This test uses ultrasound and sterile saline to check the uterine cavity and tubal flow.
Laparoscopy
This is a minimally invasive surgical procedure considered the “gold standard” for evaluating the pelvis.
A small camera (laparoscope) is inserted through a tiny incision near the belly button. It allows me to directly see the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and uterus to check for blockages, scar tissue, or endometriosis.
In some cases, we can even repair minor blockages during the same procedure.

Effective Treatment Options for Blocked Tubes
Once we confirm a blockage, we can create a plan. The Best Blocked Fallopian Tubes Treatment in New Delhi depends on the location and severity of the blockage, your age, and your overall fertility profile.
Laparoscopic Surgery
For some women with minimal scarring or a single blockage, surgical repair (tuboplasty) might be an option. We can attempt to remove the scar tissue and reopen the tube.
However, surgery carries a risk of the tube scarring over again and an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy in the future. We discuss these risks transparently.
In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)
For most women with bilateral tubal blockage, IVF is the most direct and effective path to pregnancy. IVF works by completely bypassing the fallopian tubes.
We retrieve eggs directly from your ovaries, fertilise them with sperm in our advanced laboratory, and then transfer the healthy embryo directly into your uterus. IVF offers the highest success rates for tubal factor infertility.
If a hydrosalpinx is present, we often recommend removing or clipping the affected tube before an IVF cycle, as the fluid can be toxic to an embryo and lower the chances of implantation.

We provide counselling to help you and your partner navigate these emotions as a team.
Preventive Note:
While genetic causes cannot be prevented, lifestyle factors matter. Quitting smoking, managing obesity, and avoiding anabolic steroids are crucial steps to protect whatever sperm production potential remains.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can Azoospermia be cured?
“Cured” depends on the cause. Obstructive azoospermia can sometimes be reversed surgically (vasectomy reversal). Hormonal causes can sometimes be treated with medication. For other types, while we may not “cure” the condition permanently, we can often bypass it to achieve pregnancy.
2. Is the sperm retrieved surgically healthy?
Yes. While sperm from the testicles are immature (they haven’t learned to swim yet), their DNA is usually intact. Using ICSI, these sperm are highly effective at fertilising eggs and creating healthy embryos.
3. Will my child inherit Azoospermia?
If your azoospermia is caused by a genetic condition (like a Y-chromosome deletion), it is possible to pass this infertility trait to a male child. We perform genetic counselling and testing beforehand so you are fully informed of any risks.
4. Is the needle aspiration (TESA) painful?
No. It is performed under local anaesthesia or light sedation. You might feel some soreness or bruising for a day or two afterwards, but it is generally very well tolerated.
5. What if no sperm is found even after surgery?
In the rare event that Micro-TESE fails to find sperm, we will support you in exploring other paths to parenthood, such as using donor sperm. We ensure you have exhausted every possibility before reaching that stage.
