The fallopian tubes are a part of the female reproductive system and they are located in the abdominal cavity between the uterus and the ovaries. Fallopian tubes are also known as uterine tubes or oviducts. There are two fallopian tubes in a woman. If fallopian tubes get blocked due to any reason it becomes very hard to conceive naturally.
Blocked fallopian tubes are a common cause of female infertility. About 20% of female infertility is related to tubal blockage. There may be a blockage or damage of the entire tube or at the end of the tube. A fallopian tube blockage prevents the combining of egg with sperm or passage of the fertilized egg to the uterus. Which prevents the chances of pregnancy in women. As there are two fallopian tubes; if one fallopian tube is blocked there is still a chance to get pregnant. However, if both the fallopian tubes are completely blocked, the chances of getting pregnant are nil.

Women will more likely realise there is a blockage in their fallopian tube when they have trouble conceiving the pregnancy.
