1.How Tubal Blockages Impact Fertility

The fallopian tubes play a critical role in reproduction:

• They collect the egg after ovulation.
• Provide the pathway for sperm to reach the egg.
• Support early embryo transport to the uterus.`
• When there is a blockage, fertilization may be completely prevented, or the embryo may fail to reach the uterus. This is why Dr. Seema Jain, Fertility specialist at Pimple Saudagar, emphasizes early detection.
