Tubal Infertility
Tubal factor infertility accounts for about 20-25% of all cases of infertility. This category includes
cases in which the woman has completely blocked fallopian tubes and also women who have either one blocked
tube or tubal scarring or other tubal damage. Most tubal disease is
caused by an episode of tubal infections (pelvic inflammatory disease, PID) or a condition
called endometriosis.
In cases of relatively minor tubal damage it can be difficult to be certain that the infertility problem is
solely due to the tubal damage. There may be other significant contributing causes that are resulting in the
problem conceiving. In general, the standard infertility testing is performed on all couples and if no other
cause of infertility is found, the presumptive diagnosis can be tubal factor. However, if the degree of tubal
scarring is very minimal, a diagnosis of unexplained infertility may be warranted.
Treatment:
Tubal infertility can be treated with tubal surgery or in
vitro fertilization.
