Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
With one tube removed, and the other damaged , chances of pregnancy are not optimum.
However, your chances of carrying a child to fullterm are not affected, as your uterus is intact.
What is affected, is your ability to conceive,
You should have a laparoscopy at the earliest to know if the remaining tube is patent / functional.
If the tubal status is defective, then you would need to have IVF ( in vitro fertilization ) to conceive.
Certain tubal damages can be rectified on laparoscopy also.
Take care.
