One of the primary causes of infertility in women is tubal disease, a disorder that includes a blocked or damaged fallopian tube. A pelvic examination is used for the initial diagnosis, followed by additional testing to confirm the diagnosis.
Causes of Tubal Disease:
* Scar tissue from endometriosis
* Scar tissue from abdominal surgery or earlier cesarean section
* Past infections
* Tubal ligation
There are treatment options to address tubal disease.
* Surgical removal of scar tissue
* Surgical repair of damaged tubes
* Surgical reversal of a ligation
* In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
