Blocked Fallopian Tubes Treatment in Kolkata — There Is a Way Forward
Blocked fallopian tubes are one of the more common — and treatable — causes of female infertility. Whether caused by past infections, endometriosis, or previous pelvic surgery, there are clear paths to pregnancy. At Maatritva IVF in Newtown, Kolkata, Dr. Ankita Mandal has helped many women with tubal factor infertility become mothers, either through surgery or by bypassing the tubes entirely with IVF.
Understanding This Condition
The fallopian tubes are the channels through which eggs travel from the ovaries to the uterus, and where fertilisation normally occurs. When one or both tubes are blocked — by infection scarring (PID), endometriosis adhesions, previous surgery, or a hydrosalpinx (fluid-filled tube) — sperm and egg cannot meet. Bilateral blockage means natural conception is impossible without medical intervention.
Symptoms & Diagnosis
Women diagnosed with bilateral blocked tubes on HSG (hysterosalpingography) or laparoscopy, those with a history of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), chlamydia, or gonorrhoea, women with endometriosis, previous ectopic pregnancy, or pelvic surgery (appendix, C-section).

Treatment Options
- 1Step 1: HSG (dye test) — blocked tubes confirmed by X-ray imaging during this outpatient test
- 2Step 2: Laparoscopy — definitive diagnosis and assessment of tube condition and reversibility
- 3Step 3: If tubes are repairable — laparoscopic adhesiolysis, fimbrioplasty, or tuboplasty attempted
- 4Step 4: If hydrosalpinx present — salpingectomy (tube removal) to prevent toxic fluid from impairing IVF implantation
- 5Step 5: If tubes are irreparably damaged — IVF completely bypasses the tubes; eggs retrieved directly from ovaries
- 6Step 6: IVF embryo transfer — success rates of 65–75% unaffected by tubal status
