Perhaps: Someimes they can be unblocked with simple flushing, but sometimes a section needs to be removed. He/she can't predict what needs to be done until he gets in there. This will be your only chance so good luck

Most likely:): The success of a fallopian tube procedure depends in part on the location and extent of the blockage, as well as the presence or absence of other fertility problems. After a thorough evaluation with an exam and testing to review blockage, a trained surgeon can advise you on the best procedure to suit your case, as there are more than one option. Good luck!

Depends: My understanding is that sometimes the tubes can be unblocked, it depends on what is blocking them. Sometimes when something is pushing on them from the outside that can be moved or removed, allowing the tube to open. Since we have IVF these days, it is not clear if it is best to take the tubes out. I have heard when a tube is unblocked it may close back up within months. Your surgeon may know
