Tubal surgery or IVF for blocked tubes?
60-second summary
Fallopian tubes carry the egg and help sperm meet it. When they are blocked, you can either try to repair them with surgery or skip them with IVF. The best choice depends on where the block is, how damaged the tubes are, your age, your partner's sperm health, and how long you have been trying.
Open vs blocked tubes
The tubes must be open for egg and sperm to meet.
