Handling Female Infertility
Tubal Blockage
Tubal blockage is a condition where one or both fallopian tubes are blocked.
Tubal blockage, as the name suggests, is a condition where one or both fallopian tubes are blocked. This prevents the egg from traveling from the ovaries to the uterus. If that doesn’t happen, a person can not get pregnant naturally.
Tubes can get blocked due to many reasons including infections such as pelvic inflammatory disease, sexually transmitted infections, endometriosis (excessively thick uterine lining), previous surgeries in the pelvic region, or congenital abnormalities (abnormalities present by birth).
Depending on the severity and location of the blockage, it can either partially or completely obstruct the tubes. Dr Puja Dewan is an expert in tubal blockage treatment as well.
Tubal Blockage Symptoms
- Women suffering from tubal blockage may not experience noticeable symptoms. However, when symptoms do occur, they may include:
- Trouble in Conceiving: The inability to conceive after trying for 12 months is the most common sign of a blocked fallopian tube or any other fertility issue.
- Pelvic Pain: Some women experience chronic pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis, especially during menstruation or intercourse. Sometimes its completely normal and other times, it occurs due to pelvic Inflammatory disease.
- Painful Periods: If tubes are blocked due to any other conditions like endometriosis or infections, can cause painful periods.
- Abnormal Vaginal Discharge: Long term Infections may cause foul-smelling vaginal discharge. This is also a reason behind blocked tubes.
- As the symptoms of tubal blockage are unnoticeable many times, many women only become aware of the condition when they face difficulties conceiving. A Diagnostic test, such as a hysterosalpingogram (HSG), are used to confirm the presence of a blockage. If the blockage is present then it gets treated as well.

Impact of Tubal Blockage on Women's Health
- Tubal blockage can significantly affect a woman’s reproductive health, particularly her ability to conceive naturally.
- Since the fallopian tubes are essential for the egg and sperm to meet and fertilize, a blocked tube disrupts this process, leading to infertility. Even if only one tube is blocked, it can reduce the chances of conception, while complete blockage of both tubes can prevent natural pregnancy entirely.
- Aside from infertility, a blocked fallopian tube increases the risk of an ectopic pregnancy. This occurs when a fertilized egg implants itself outside the uterus, often in the fallopian tube. Ectopic pregnancies are medical emergencies that can be life-threatening as the tube can burst if left untreated.
- Women dealing with infertility may experience stress, anxiety, and depression, further complicating their overall well-being. Timely diagnosis and treatment are key to improving health outcomes and fertility chances.
Treatments for Tubal Blockage
- Tubal blockage is a significant concern for many women trying to conceive, as it can prevent sperm from reaching the egg.
- One of the treatment is laparoscopy, which is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. During this surgery, your gynecologist can directly visualize the fallopian tubes and check any blockages, such as adhesions or endometriosis. This method not only helps in restoring tubal patency but also allows for a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery.
- Another effective treatment of tube blockage is hysterosalpingography (HSG), a special X-ray technique. HSG involves injecting a dye into the uterus and fallopian tubes to find any blockages. In some cases, the pressure from the dye can even help to clear minor obstructions too.
- Additionally, lifestyle modifications can play a vital role in enhancing fertility. Maintaining a balanced diet, managing stress, and avoiding smoking can positively impact reproductive health.
- It's essential for women facing tubal blockage to consult with a qualified gynecologist like Dr Puja Dewan who can provide a thorough evaluation and recommend the most appropriate treatment based on individual circumstances and health conditions.

I was referred to Dr. Puja Jain Dewan after developing high blood pressure in the early stages of my pregnancy. She immediately put me on a closely monitored plan that included regular check-ups, medication adjustments, and dietary changes. Her proactive approach helped me avoid any severe complications. When I experienced issues towards the end of my pregnancy, Dr. Puja was there every step of the way, ensuring both my baby and I were safe. I successfully delivered a healthy baby girl, and I am forever grateful for the extraordinary care Dr Puja provided.
I was going through a pre-menopausal phase where I was having trouble managing my symptoms of hot flashes, irritability and mood swings. I am so glad that I visited Dr Puja for that. She listened to me patiently, made me feel comfortable and assured me that everything is going to be alright. She then suggested some lifestyle changes, dietary changes and prescribed some meds. I didn't know that all these things will make such a huge difference. I finally feel like myself again! Thank you Dr Puja You are an amazing doctor and a good human being.
As I was experiencing various annoying symptoms, My friend recommended Dr Puja So I visited her clinic. I was quite sceptical as I had never visited a gynac before. But the experience was great, she understood my concerns and diagnosed PCOS. She also reassured me that some lifestyle changes and meds will have it managed. I followed her advice religiously and I am perfectly fine again. All those annoying symptoms, mood swings and acne are now gone. Such gynaecologists are rare these days. She is now going to be my gyne for life! Thank You so much Ma'am
