tubal

I had a etpic pregancy seven years back and they removed my left tube and I still have my right one but they say it is closed up when i had a hsg test done and none of the fluid flowed out but I like to know can my tube come unblocked by itself?

Hi!
There is not much chance of your fallopian tube becoming unblocked, except by surgery. There is a procedure known as a tuboplasty, or salpingoplasty, which can sometimes open a damaged tube.  The procedure doesn't always work, and often leads to another ectopic (tubal) pregnancy.

The best option in a case like yours is usually in vitro ( test tube ) fertilization.

I hope this helps!

hi i had an ectopic and lost my left tube.. my right tube was blocked this has been drained twice but only by surgery.. i had tubal surgery 10yrs ago and unblocked my right tube i again had surgery 4yrs ago it was blocked again.. but was told it had been blocked for so long it was in poor condition. so unfortunatly i have to go down the ivf root. but if you have your tube unblocked i have friends who have concieved with the one tube so good luck
