Tube Block Treatment: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment

What Is Fallopian Tube Blockage?

In Ayurveda fallopian tube blockage comes under artavaha srotas. The artavaha srotas covers the whole female reproductive tract and includes the structural and functional unit from the hypothalamus to the uterus. Fallopian tubes in Ayurveda is called artava bija vaha srotas as it carries bija rupi artava.

Fallopian tube is a part of female reproductive system. It is a ‘J’ shaped muscular tubes also known as uterine tubes or oviducts or salpinx. The fallopian tubes extend laterally from the uterus that opens into the abdominal cavity near the ovaries.

Functions of Fallopian Tube Blockage

The fallopian tubes act as a pathway for the passage of the ovum from the ovary to the uterus. The oviducts help in the movement of female gamete. The anatomical structure of the inner part of the tubes helps the ovum to float towards the uterus and supplies it with nutrients.

What Are the sign and symptoms of blockage in fallopian tubes

Signs and symptoms of blocked fallopian tubes is not mentioned in the ayurvedic ancient texts, as tubal blockage term is not used in Ayurveda. However the clinical features can be understood by considering all the gynecological disorders. Infertility (bandhyatva) is the chief complain and through investigation tubal blockage is diagnosed. Bandhyatva is the main symptoms of blocked tube.

Usually the symptoms of blockage in fallopian tubes is not known until the women faces problems in getting pregnant. In certain cases the blocked tubes may cause mild and continuous pain on one side of the abdomen.

Hydrosalpinx is a kind of blocked fallopian. The blocked fallopian tubes symptoms in this include low abdominal pain and vaginal discharge. The symptoms may not be experienced by all women.

What Causes Fallopian Tube Blockage?

  • Fallopian tube blockage causes infertility in a woman. In Ayurveda the causes of blockage is accumulation and vitiation of doshas.
  • Vata dosha is responsible for any movement in the body channels. Due to the accumulation of the toxins there is dryness and narrowness of the channels that blocks the free movement of vata dosha. It can be sclerosis of the tubes or abnormal function of the tubes causing the tube blockage.
  • Pitta dosha is the other important cause of the blocked tubes. The main function of pitta is digestion and metabolism. The imbalance in pitta dosha causes inflammation and certain infection in the tubes thus resulting in blockage.
  • Excessive accumulation of the pus in the tubes causing the obstruction is due to vitiated kapha dosha.
  • Apart from the doshas, dietary factors such as light food, bitter, pungent, sour, salty, hot, not easily digestible foods, sweet, abhishyandi etc causes tubal blockage.
  • Life style that includes excessive sexual intercourse, fasting, excessive workout, trauma, injury, sedentary lifestyle, sleeping in day time, improper vamana, anger, suppression of natural urges etc leads to fallopian tubes blockage.

The causes of bilateral tube blockage includes

  • Abortion
  • Miscarriage
  • Abdominal surgery
  • Ectopic pregnancy
  • Ruptured appendix
  • Uterine infection
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease 
  • Any previous infection such as chlamydia
  • Any surgery in or near the uterine tubes.

Fallopian Tube Blockage Test

Blocked fallopian tube is not easy to identify. There are 3 main tests to check fallopian tube blockage.

1) An x-ray known as hysterosalpingogram or HSG test is done where a dye is injected into the womb that flows in the fallopian tubes and drains in the abdominal cavity in the case of unblocked tubes. If the fluid is not seen flowing into the fallopian tubes, it signifies tubal blockage.

2) There are certain reports where the HSG improved the pregnancy rates in certain patients. Performing HSG without imaging is called tubal flushing which improves the chances of pregnancy after HSG test blocked tubes.

3) Sonohysterogram is an ultrasound very similar to HSG test. It uses the sound waves to get the picture of fallopian tubes.

4) Laparoscopy, performed by the surgeon is done to picture the fallopian tubes from inside. It is considered the most accurate test for the blocked tubes.

Types of Fallopian Tube Blockage

Blocked fallopian tube is a common cause of female infertility. Blocked fallopian tube is also called tubal occlusion and is of the following types-

1) Hydrosalpinx

The blockage of the fallopian tubes at the end point where the tubes meet the ovary is called hydrosalpinx. If the blockage of the same kind is on both the tubes it becomes nearly impossible to get pregnant without any medical intervention.

2) Proximal tubal blockage
The blockage of the tubes at the point where it connects to the uterus is called proximal tubal occlusion. It may arise due to fibroids, endometriosis, scarring or inflammation.

3) Salpingitis isthmica nodosa (SIN)
It is a type of proximal tubal disease that is difficult to treat.

4) Tubal ligation
Due to the prior sterilization procedure the patient has 2 choices i.e tubal ligation reversal or IVF.

For infertility treatment, Ayurveda works best because it doesn’t involve any heavy medication that comes along with side effects. Ayurveda incorporates natural alternatives that can heal your body, not only for a healthy conception, but also to keep your body healthy afterwards.

 

Let’s learn about Ayurvedic healing from our miracle mother and their stories….

SUCCESS STORY

 

“I told my husband to get another wife” 

–Pushpa kumari (bihar)

 

This is not a movie script, it’s the actual statement of one of our patients, who conceived naturally after 13 years of suffering and mental trauma.

 

This is Pushpa’s story: an ordinary woman who dreamed of becoming a mother after her marriage. She lived happily with her beloved husband in Bihar when everything seemed perfect, when the terrible news knocked on their doorstep. 

“Tubal blockage”: A condition where one or both fallopian tubes are partially or completely obstructed. Because these tubes serve as the pathway where sperm meets the egg—and where the fertilized embryo begins its journey to the uterus—blockages are a major cause of female infertility.

Pushpa was so devastated by this fact that she believed she was unfit as a wife for her husband just because she couldn’t deliver a baby. With a heavy heart, she even requested her husband to marry another woman to become a father. But her husband stood by her side in these difficult times, and supported her with everything she needed, despite believing that she wouldn’t have a baby.

 

“I lost every ounce of hope, I was completely shattered to my core”

These aren’t just words, they hold the agony, the tremor of taunts by her family and relatives. The only backbone of her life turned against her; she had nothing left but remorse in her. When all hope was lost in the midst of this depression, she got a recommendation for consultation with the expert fertility specialist at Aasha Ayurveda.

 

Dr. Chanchal Sharma brought her something that expensive treatment couldn’t: the belief that she could conceive, despite tubal blockage. The lost hope was regained, and now she’s 5 months into her pregnancy, sharing her journey with us.

We are more than just happy when we see her face beaming with a bright smile again. She’s not the Pushpa who came with tears in her eyes and desperation in her heart with absolutely no faith in herself.

Now she’s confident and optimistic that she, too, can conceive naturally, and all of this was made possible with Ayurveda and the expert guidance of our fertility specialist doctors at Aasha Ayurveda.

This is not just the story of Pushpa, but of more than 50 thousand women like her, who conceived naturally with the help of our specialised ayurvedic therapies and 15+ years of excellent experience in ayurveda.

 

“This child is a boon for my mother-in-law”

She also shared that her mother-in-law, who was her close companion in this journey, isn’t alive to see this baby. But she was fortunate enough to get the good news, that her daughter-in-law could finally conceive, that too naturally.

“Aasha ayurveda is a blessing for me. When I thought I lost everything, aasha ayurveda gave me the greatest happiness of my life. I am very grateful”

Yes, bilateral fallopian tube blockage can be managed in some cases, depending on the underlying cause and the severity of the blockage.

According to Dr. Chanchal Sharma, if the blockage is caused by inflammation, infection, endometriosis, or pelvic adhesions, Ayurvedic treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, improving reproductive health, and supporting the body's natural healing process. Personalized therapies such as Uttarbasti, Panchakarma, Virechana, Basti Therapy, and carefully selected Ayurvedic herbal formulations may help improve reproductive function.

However, if both tubes are severely damaged or completely blocked, treatment outcomes vary from person to person. A proper diagnosis and individualized treatment plan are essential.

The first step is to identify the exact cause of the blockage through proper medical evaluation.

According to Dr. Chanchal Sharma, Ayurveda offers a non-surgical approach that aims to reduce inflammation, improve pelvic circulation, balance hormones, and support reproductive health. Treatment may include:

  • Uttarbasti Therapy
  • Panchakarma Detoxification
  • Virechana
  • Basti Therapy
  • Personalized Ayurvedic herbal medicines
  • Fertility-supportive diet and lifestyle modifications

It is important to understand that there is no scientifically proven home remedy or drink that can physically unblock fallopian tubes. Treatment should always be guided by a qualified healthcare professional.

The best treatment depends on the cause, location, and severity of the blockage.

According to Dr. Chanchal Sharma, women with tubal blockage caused by inflammation, mild adhesions, or infection may benefit from a personalized Ayurvedic treatment plan. This may include:

  • Uttarbasti Therapy
  • Panchakarma
  • Ayurvedic herbal medicines
  • Hormonal balance support
  • Personalized nutrition and lifestyle guidance

If the fallopian tubes are extensively damaged or conditions such as hydrosalpinx are present, advanced fertility treatments or surgical options may also be considered. The most appropriate treatment should always be based on diagnostic findings.

There is no drink that can directly unblock fallopian tubes.

According to Dr. Chanchal Sharma, certain Ayurvedic herbal formulations may help reduce inflammation, improve digestion, and support overall reproductive health when prescribed after an individual assessment. These should only be taken under the supervision of a qualified Ayurvedic physician.

Maintaining good hydration and following a nutrient-rich diet with fresh fruits, vegetables, antioxidants, and whole foods can also support reproductive wellness, but they cannot physically remove a tubal blockage.

No exercise can physically open blocked fallopian tubes.

However, Dr. Chanchal Sharma recommends regular yoga and moderate physical activity to improve pelvic blood circulation, reduce stress, and support hormonal balance, all of which contribute to better reproductive health.

Recommended exercises include:

  • Butterfly Pose (Baddha Konasana)
  • Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana)
  • Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana)
  • Viparita Karani
  • Pranayama (Breathing Exercises)
  • 30 minutes of daily walking

These exercises support overall fertility and reproductive wellness but should not be considered a direct treatment for tubal blockage.

Yes, natural conception is possible in certain situations.

If only one fallopian tube is blocked and the other tube is healthy, with normal ovulation and good sperm quality, natural pregnancy may still be possible.

However, if both fallopian tubes are completely blocked, the chances of natural conception are significantly reduced without appropriate treatment.

According to Dr. Chanchal Sharma, Ayurvedic treatment focuses on improving reproductive health, reducing inflammation, supporting hormonal balance, and enhancing the body's natural fertility potential. Every case is unique, and the treatment approach should be based on a thorough medical evaluation and individualized care plan.
