Hi. I have some tubal issues as well. A section of my right tube was removed with a tubal pregnancy. DON'T have surgery!! This can open the tube for awhile, but it will cause scar tissue which can cause further blockage and more fertility challenges. Trust me I know from experience. There are some natural things you can try...You can look into self fertility massage, I do this and have notice an immense difference in my cycles. It has been shown to loosen and break up scar tissues and adhesions. It is a form of deep tissue massage/accupressure/physical therapy. I got a DVD for 30 bucks from Amazon explaining each technique, and I do this at home. It may not be able to get the left tube functional again but if the tube is filled with fluid (which can sometimes prevent successful implantation even in IVF) The deep tissue massage should at least open that tube up so the fluid can drain and doesn't drain into the uterus. Depending on how bad the blockage is this could clear up the problem altogether. Some other things you may want to look into is an enzyme called serrapeptase, it's found from the digestive tract of a silkworm. You take this on an empty stomach (don't eat for 2hrs before or after) as it needs to survive your stomach and get to the intestines. Once there it is absorbed into the blood stream and has been proven useful to break down scar tissue (fibrin) while leaving delicate living tissue alone. It may take months of these things, both massage and the serrapeptase, but I would not have them try to open the tube, you will just end up with more scarring. If after 6mo of this the tube is still filled with fluid (an u/s should be able to show that, or you can redo the dye test if you like) Then I would opt to just remove the blocked tube. Remember you only need one tube, but that fluid can prevent a pregnancy. You may want to think about using clomid or femara down the road if you only have one tube to work with. That will get you popping more eggs out the usable side. Good luck!! Oh one more natural remedy that may help is Thiosinaminum it's used for scar tissue, uterine fibroids and many other things.

No offense to the Dr. but I think it's important to let a patient know that the risk of surgery causing even more scarring and damage is a very possible outcome. I wish mine would have told me.

Hi!
It appears that your right fallopian tube is normal.  That is good news!  Your left tube seems to have a blockage.  There are many correct ways to handle your case.  One option that I might choose if your were my patient is laparoscopy.  I would want to take a look at the tubes and possibly try to repair the left tube.  If the left was badly damaged, it might be better to remove it.  Another option would be to do no surgery at this point; your right tube is open and should theoretically be functional.
Finally, some doctors would recommend IVF and bypass the tubes completely.
As I say, there are many different ways to handle your case, and your chances for pregnancy are good!
Good luck!
Dr B
