If you have been diagnosed with blocked tubes you may have wondered is there a treatment for this condition.
Blocked tubes can be treated successfully by the tubal surgeons of A Personal Choice.
Caroline voluntarily had her tubes blocked and she traveled from Scotland to have her tubes repaired.
Her surgery was a success. After returning home from having her surgery she quickly became pregnant.
Caroline’s experience demonstrates tubes blocked by sterilization, infection, and scar tissue can be repaired and pregnancy is very possible.
Can Blocked Tubes Be Unblocked?
Caroline had her tubes blocked by tubal clips. She eventually regretted her decision and began to look into alternative treatments for getting pregnant. She closely investigated her options and looked carefully at tubal reversal surgery vs. in vitro fertilization. She decided tubal surgery was the best option for her and she traveled to the United States for her tubal surgery.
Is IVF A Treatment For A Blocked Tube?
IVF (also known as in vitro fertilization) is not a treatment for blocked tubes. IVF does by pass the tubal blockage by removing a woman’s eggs, fertilizing them outside of her body, and replacing them back into her uterus. Each try at IVF costs around $12,000 and the average success is around 35% for each attempt.
IVF may help you get pregnant but it does not treat the tubal blockage.
Best Treatments For Blocked Tubes
Tubal surgery is the best treatment for tubal blockage.
If your tubes are blocked from having your tubes tied then tubal reversal with a tubotubal anastomosis is the best treatment. If the ends of your tubes are closed from scar tissue (hydrosalpinx) then tubal surgery with an ampullary salpingostomy is the best treatment to open the tubes. If the tubes are damaged as they leave the uterus then a tubouterine implantation is a good treatment to reverse the tubal blockage.
On average 3 out of every 4 patients who have tubal reversal surgery will become pregnant.
If you have tubal surgery for other forms of tubal blockage the chance of pregnancy depends on the health of the remaining fallopian tubes. Tubal surgery currently cost $5900 at A Personal Choice.
Surgery For Blocked Tubes
Caroline asked herself the question which is better tubal reversal or IVF?
She decided she was going to have surgery with Dr. Monteith for her blocked tubes.
Caroline quickly became pregnant after her tubal surgery. At the age of 41 and thirteen months after her treatment for tubal blockage, Caroline gave birth to a healthy baby girl , Erin Rose.
Tubal surgery can work and tubal surgery can also be an option for women over the age of 40.
If you are interested in having a surgery to repair blocked tubes you should fax or mail your medical records to A Personal Choice to be reviewed by Dr. Berger and Dr. Monteith.
