Tubal sterility is defined as the inability of natural fertilization to occur due to obstruction of the fallopian tubes.

This obstruction can be spontaneous due to infection, pathology or malformation or it can also be intentional, that is, caused by the woman's will to cause sterility as a method of contraception. This is known as tubal ligation.
