what if the doctor determines if the fallopian tubes are obstructed or has problem?

The doctor performs a hysterosalpingogram -- an X-ray that can evaluate the condition of the uterus and determine if the fallopian tubes are obstructed.

True that. STDs can and are a common cause for tubal scarring or blockage. Scarred tubes or blocked tubes can be detected during a laparoscopy and/or hysterosalpingogram.

This can be corrected with surgery procedures such as - Fimbrioplasty or Tuboplasty.
