Nayar offers complete diagnosis and treatment for blocked tubes, including advanced IVF that completely bypasses the tubes to achieve pregnancy.

The main diagnostic tests are:
IVF completely bypasses the fallopian tubes. Eggs are retrieved directly from the ovaries, fertilised in our laboratory, and the embryo is transferred directly into the uterus. This is the recommended treatment when one or both tubes are blocked, especially if other factors (age, sperm quality, ovarian reserve) are also a concern. Learn more about IVF →
In selected cases — particularly younger women with proximal (near-uterus) blockage and no other infertility factors — laparoscopic surgery to open the tube may be appropriate. This is discussed on a case-by-case basis by Dr. Nayar.
If a tube is filled with fluid (hydrosalpinx), the fluid can leak into the uterus and significantly reduce IVF success rates. In such cases, we recommend removing or clipping the affected tube before IVF to maximise embryo implantation success.
Yes — through IVF. Since IVF retrieves eggs directly from the ovaries and fertilises them in the laboratory, blocked tubes do not affect the IVF process at all. Many women with both tubes completely blocked have successfully had babies through IVF at Akanksha IVF Centre.
There is no reliable natural method to open blocked fallopian tubes. Some mild blockages from mucus or spasm can resolve, but structural blockages from adhesions, infection, or endometriosis require medical or surgical intervention.
For most women with blocked tubes — especially those over 35, or with other infertility factors — IVF is the most effective and recommended route. In very selected young patients with proximal blockage only, tubal surgery may be considered first.
Hydrosalpinx is treated either by laparoscopic salpingectomy (removing the affected tube) or tubal occlusion (blocking the tube near the uterus) before starting IVF. This prevents toxic fluid from reducing embryo implantation rates.
Tubal surgery itself does not reduce ovarian reserve. However, care must be taken during surgery not to interfere with ovarian blood supply. At Akanksha IVF Centre, all such decisions are made carefully after reviewing your ovarian reserve tests.
