The causes of tubal obstruction can be diverse. Some possible reasons that cause blockage of the fallopian tubes are the following:
- Salpingitis or inflammation of the fallopian tubes.
- Endometriosis, that is, the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus.
- Hydrosalpinx, which is the accumulation of fluid in the fallopian tube.
Additionally, if a woman undergoes any type of pelvic surgery, her fallopian tubes could also be affected.
