Could Blocked Fallopian Tubes, Ovarian Cyst And Endometriosis Cause Problems In Conceiving?
Hello Dr. My Sister had blocked fallopian tubes, ovarian cyst and Endometeriosis for which she got operated in 2010,but still unable to conceive. The local GYN suggested Ovral -L for 3 months starting 5th day of her period*21 days. By taking OCP's can someone conceive?
Thank you

Hi,
I think the OCP has been given to treat the endometriosis. But one can't conceive on OCP medicine as it is also a contraceptive. As you told she had blocked tunes. I just wanted to know if you came to know about the blockage by HSG or laparoscopy. If block was seen on HSG, she should undergo a laparoscopy to confirm it. If it was found on laparoscopy then she has to undergo IVF to conceive.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Khushboo Priya
