Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

One patent tube is enough for conception. So do not worry. If you do not conceive with 4 cycles of IUI, we need to consider the possibility of the patent tube also being affected by infection. It may be patent but it's lining epithelium may not be functioning normally. So if you do not conceive with 4 to 6 cycles of IUI, then I suggest that you need to consider IVF treatment.

I hope I have answered your concerns. If you have further queries I will be happy to answer.

Best wishes,
Dr. Rama
