What is the cause of blocked fallopian tubes?

Fallopian tubes can become blocked for various different reasons. A buildup of debris or mucus from pelvic infection, previous abdominal surgery, Endometriosis, certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs), or even past ectopic pregnancy.

With our nonsurgical Fallopian Tube Recanalisation (FTR) procedure, a Specialist Radiologist can clear these blockages, particularly if the blockage is due to debris or mucus. This can be particularly beneficial for cases of infertility linked to blocked Fallopian Tubes.
