Question: My doctor told me that my tubes are blocked pls what can I do
Answer: Hello 

Fallopian tubes connect the ovaries and the uterus and every month during ovulation the egg travels from the ovaries to the uterus via the tubes Therefore once these tubes are blocked the chances of pregnancy are slimmer 

The most common cause of blocked fallopian tubes is PID others include 	previous ectopic pregnancy endometriosis etc Also tubes can be blocked due to tubal ligation a procedure whereby tubes are medically tied 

Blocked tubes are usually diagnosed with a specialized xray called a hysterosalpingogram HSG 

Treatment options vary and are dependent on the degree of blockage or if both tubes are affected Options include surgery IVF or reversal of ligation depending on the results of examinations
