How does blockage in Fallopian tubes affect fertility?

The fallopian tube is one of the most essential parts of the female reproductive system that connects the ovary to the uterus. It plays an integral part in the menstrual cycle and fertilization of eggs. Every month the ovaries release eggs during ovulation that enter the fallopian tube and then slide back to the uterus. After ovulation when the egg is in the fallopian tube at this point if the sperm reaches the fallopian tube fertilization occurs and the uterus prepares itself for implantation. In cases where the fallopi an tube is blocked, as a result, the sperm cannot reach the egg and fertilization cannot take place which is one of the most common causes of infertility in females. Further, there can be various reasons for blocked fallopian tubes, some of which can be treated with nonsurgical methods while others may require surgical intervention.
