A member asked:
A woman with regular periods, smoked 4-5 cigarettes a day for 2 months, can this be the cause of scar tissues and blockade of fallopian tubes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Cigarette smoking has a variety of health effects that may be detrimental, but scarring and blockage of fallopian tubes is not one of them. Scarring of the fallopian tubes is usually due to infection, previous surgery or occasionally from bleeding related to ovarian cyst rupture.
