In short
What is Blocked fallopian tubes?
Blocked fallopian tubes prevent the egg and sperm from meeting, and are a common, identifiable cause of delayed pregnancy. Depending on whether one or both tubes are affected, options range from timed conception to surgery or IVF — and the right choice is decided after the blockage is properly assessed.
Why tubes matter
The fallopian tubes are where the egg and sperm normally meet. If one or both are blocked, that meeting can't happen naturally on that side.
A simple test (such as an HSG scan) can show whether the tubes are open, and a specialist uses that to decide the right next step.
Questions people ask
Can I conceive with one blocked tube?
Often, yes. If one tube is open and healthy, natural conception is still possible. The right plan depends on which tube is affected and your wider fertility picture, which a specialist will confirm with a simple tube-assessment test.
