My partner’s tubes are blocked

Mar 21, 2011

BLOCKED fallopian tubes are one of the most common causes of infertility. The blockage is usually a result of past infections. There are a number of upcoming fertility treatment centres in Kampala where couples can get help.

Dear Doctor,
After four years in marriage, my partner was diagnosed with secondary infertility due to blocked fallopian tubes. What can she do?

Dear AN,
BLOCKED fallopian tubes are one of the most common causes of infertility. The blockage is usually a result of past infections. There are a number of upcoming fertility treatment centres in Kampala where couples can get help.

In the case of blocked tubes, invitro fertilisation which involves external fertilisation of the ova, can be done. There are also procedures that can be done to unblock the tubes. See a gynaecologist.
