If you have blocked fallopian tubes, and you’re looking for more information on your condition, this definitely is the best web page you have ever read. And the reason why is below.

Your fallopian tubes are two minute tubes that link the ovaries to the uterus, and are also named uterine tubes, salpinges or oviducts. The fallopian tubes are approximately 7 to 14 cm in length, and start at the upper part of the uterus and move outwards to form a structure called the fimbria. The fimbria are finger-like projections that lie close to the ovaries, and they are responsible for taking the mature egg once its been released by the ovary.

The fallopian tubes are constructed with muscular cells, lined with ciliated cells. Ciliated cells are cells that have tiny “hairs” that ease the transportation of objects to help conception, and to keep the fallopian tubes healthy. These cells are covered with a thin mucus to keep the fallopian tubes supplied with moisture and nutrients, and to create the right acid/alkaline balance for sperm and eggs.

Because fallopian tubes are very delicate, they are easily damaged, and can cause problems for women trying to conceive.

Salpingitis is when the fallopian tubes are swollen due to an infection. Usually, the cause of salpingitis is pelvic inflammatory disease (which I’ll tell you about in the next video). Salpingitis can result in the walls of the fallopian tubes sticking together, which causes the tubes to become blocked, thereby greatly reducing the chances of conception. Salpingitis can cause nausea, vomiting, fever, abdominal pains or lower back pains. If left untreated, it causes infertility or tubal pregnancies.

Hydrosalpinx can also cause blocked fallopian tubes. Hydrosalpinges occur when the fallopian tube is filled with a clear fluid. You are already aware that the fallopian tubes secrete a liquid to moisten these delicate tissues. In a healthy woman, this liquid runs from the fimbria- the part of the fallopian tubes nearest to the ovaries, down into the uterus. The primary reason women develop a hydrosalpinx is pelvic inflammatory disease, but it is also the result of foreign bacteria overgrowth, endometriosis, or even damage from previous surgeries. Most women with a hydrosalpinx don’t know they have one because they’re not experiencing any symptoms or side effects, so it can go untreated.

Conditions similar to a hydrosalpinx include: Pyosalpinx – this is when a fallopian tube is filled with pus and starts to expand from within, and Hematosalpinx – This the state of the fallopian tube when it is filled with blood and causes the tubes to become distended.

Additionally, blocked fallopian tubes are caused by an adhesion. This is when tissues are abnormally connected by bands of fibrous tissue, as a result of injury, surgery, endometriosis or scarring after inflammation. When adhesions grow in or around the fallopian tubes, they can result in the fallopian tubes becoming twisted, or the lining of the fallopian tubes becoming stuck together.

The good news is, blocked fallopian tubes don’t permanently stop you from being fertile, thanks to medical technology. While medicine and surgery work for numerous couples, there are risks relating to these surgeries. The world of alternative medicine offers a solution, which in many cases works better than surgery.
