Fallopian Tube Factors

Tubal factor infertility accounts for about 32% of all cases of infertility.

What are Fallopian Tube factors?

Women who have completely blocked fallopian tubes, one blocked tube, tubal scarring or other tubal damage are considered to have tubal factors.

What causes Fallopian Tube Problems?

Tubal problems are usually caused by either pelvic infection, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or Salpingitis, pelvic endometriosis, and pelvic surgery.

How are Fallopian Tube factors diagnosed?

Tube problems are diagnosed by several different procedures: hysterosalpingogram (HSG), laparotomy, laparoscopy.

Western Medicine Treatment:

Western medicine usually resorts to surgery to remove or reduce the blockages.

Chinese Medicine Treatment:

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the fallopian tubes are considered very deep meridians. Many different approaches are taken during the treatment: deep Reproductive Organ Massage, acupuncture, herbs, diet, hormonal balancing, and stress reduction.
