Patient's question:
My sister-in-law had surgery to remove both fallopian tubes. I want to ask if it's still possible to get pregnant after having both fallopian tubes removed?Doctor's answer:
After both fallopian tubes are removed, it should be absolutely impossible to conceive. The fallopian tubes are internal reproductive organs of the female. They connect to the sides of the uterus and the uterine cavity. They are a pair of slender tubes. They are primarily the place where sperm and eggs combine to form a fertilized egg. They also serve as the pathway to transport the fertilized egg into the uterine cavity for implantation. If the fallopian tubes are absent, there is no place for sperm and eggs to meet and combine, making it absolutely impossible to conceive.
