Brief Answer:
TUBAL BLOCK HAS TO BE CONFIRMED
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings
Very unlikely that caesarian section can cause tubal blockage .Usual causes are pelvic inflammatory disease.
TUBAL blockage can be confirmed by hystero salpingo graphy where in a radio opaque XXXXXXX is injected through cervix and an x-ray is taken.Saline salpingo graphy can also be tried which doesn't need xray.
