Blocked fallopian tubes are a common infertility problem. What few people realize is that there are many nautral treatments that may help. A doctor may do an HSG (hysterosaplingogram) to detect blocked tubes. In an HSG the doctor will push special dye into the uterus and into the fallopian tubes. The dye shows up on an monitor to allow the doctor to check for abnormalities inside the uterus and tubes.

Surgery may be the only option for some people, but there are less invasive methods that do work for many women.Obviously, the success of alternative treatments will depend on the degree of blockage. Those with severe blockage are encouraged to pursue surgical options. For milder blockages increasing the blood flow to the pelvis, reducing inflammation through a whole foods diet and supplements such as fish oil, and massage.

Some herbs can help to increase blood flow and reduce swelling and scar tissue. Fallopian tubes are tiny, so if they are inflamed they can be blocked. Ginseng helps to stimulate blood flow to the pelvis and helps remove blockages. Ginger is another good warming herb that stimulates blood flow and decreases inflammation. It also helps your body adapt to stress and makes other herbs more effective.

There are three forms of circulation in the body. We are all familiar with the fact that blood carries nutrition, infection fighting white blood cells and oxygen to the cells, carrying away waste products and carbon dioxide. Fewer people understand that the lymph system helps to provide healing fluids and remove cellular toxins. The nervous system must be functioning optimally for the other two systems to work well. If your pelvic area is congested (extra fluid in the tissues) then the blood flow is reduced. If your nerves are irritated or blocked the hormone response and circulation will be impaired, further irritating and blocking circulation.

It is a good idea to talk to a chiropractor, acupuncturist, or massage therapist who specializes in treating infertility. Pinched nerves, tight muscles, scar tissue and adhesions can all block blood flow. Acupuncturists specalize in increasing energy flow which can increase blood flow to the pelvis.

Chiropractors are specialists in helping to heal the nervous system. Some blocks may result from irritation or blocks in the nervous system. The nerves control blood flow and help to stimulate healing. A massage therapist who specializes in infertility can help to break up scar tissue, increase blood flow and stimulate healing.

One company (Clear Passage) claims a 70% success rate in clearing blocked tubes with massage alone. Their success rate is so high that they have a special training therapists must go through before being allowed to go use their methods. They treat pelvic pain, adhesions, blocked tubes and more. Right now they have locations in Iowa, Florida, New York City and Southern California with new locations planned for Arizona, Texas and Washington.

Reducing the inflammation in your body with an anti-inflammatory diet is also key to reducing any swelling and increasing your fertility.

Natural infertility treatments are not right for every woman, but they can make all the difference for some women. It just makes sense to investigate your non-invasive options to increase your fertility.
