How does a person end up with a blocked fallopian tube?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many ways: Blockage due to infection is near the top of the list; but many women without infection history still get blockages. Prior surgery with adhesion formation is another cause. Proximal blockages (near where the tube leaves the uterus) are roughly 50% due to 'clogging' with mucus, clot, etc, ...Like a clogged drain in a sink.
