Diagnosis & Treatment - Tubal-Factors

With their complex, fragile structure, it is not uncommon for fallopian tubes to develop disorders over time. Potential problems can include blockage or damage, such as corneal or proximal tubal occlusion, isthmic occlusion, hydrosalpinx and fimbrial phimosis, bipolar disease or tubal adhesions.

Causes of tubal factors can include surgery-related scar tissue, infections and tubal ligation. All can keep the sperm and egg from uniting, and a fertilized egg from reaching its uterine destination.

Diagnosis of tubal factors usually requires a thorough medical study, with your physician recommending the tests appropriate for your individual case. Possible tests include laparoscopic surgery, ultrasound and hysterosalpingogram (HSG), a dye study of the uterus.

Many successful treatment options exist - your Conceptions specialist will help you determine the one most effective for you.
