Hello and welcome,

I understand your issue and that you do not want surgery. However if the tubes are blocked the causes are usually old infections and scarring. If the blocks are mild then they tend to open up even while trying to test for the block by the distending fluid used during the test. If test shows a block then it is unlikely to resolve without surgery.

The surgery can be done using an open technique or using endoscopes. A hysteroscopic fallopian tube recanalisation procedure can also be done if possible and does not involve any incision on skin as it is done by an instrument introduced from the vagina and uterus.

So discuss these options with your doctor. Also the success rate of these procedures and conception rate after surgery is not 100%. So please also clarify this with your doctor and then go ahead.

All my best wishes are with you.

Hope this satisfies your query.
