Blocked fallopian tubes are one of the main causes of infertility, which can be caused by various factors such as infections, adhesions, and endometriosis. Treatment methods for blocked fallopian tubes vary depending on individual circumstances, and common treatment options include medication, surgical treatment, and assisted reproductive technology.
Medication Treatment
Medication treatment is usually used for mild cases of blocked fallopian tubes or as a preparatory phase before surgery. The main treatments include:
Antibiotic Treatment: If the blockage is caused by an infection, the use of antibiotics can effectively clear the infection and restore the patency of the fallopian tubes.
Fallopian Tube Patency Agents: Some medications can help clear mild blockages by promoting the peristalsis of the fallopian tubes or improving the fluidity of the tubal mucus, such as bromocriptine.
Surgical Treatment
For patients with severe fallopian tube blockage or those who do not respond to medication, surgical treatment may be necessary:
Hysterosalpingography (HSG): This is a procedure that involves injecting a contrast agent into the fallopian tubes under the guidance of X-rays or ultrasound to observe the patency of the tubes. Sometimes during the examination, the doctor may also adjust the ovaries and fallopian tubes appropriately.
Minimally Invasive Surgery: Such as fallopian tube recannulation or laparoscopic surgery, can be performed through small incisions in the abdomen to remove adhesions or foreign bodies, and to restore tubal patency.

Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)
For patients with blocked fallopian tubes that cannot be treated with medication or surgery, assisted reproductive technology is a common option:
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): IVF enables fertilization of eggs and sperm outside the body, allowing for the fertilized egg to be implanted in the uterus, bypassing the fallopian tubes and increasing the chances of conception.
IVF Selection: For patients with clear fallopian tube lesions, including bilateral tube blockage and post-operative tubal repair treatments, IVF can be directly chosen without waiting.
