Tubal surgery and IVF are two options for treating blocked fallopian tubes. Tubal surgery can repair damaged tubes to allow natural conception, but success rates depend on the severity of damage. IVF does not repair tubes but may result in faster conception, especially for older patients. Both options have risks and benefits that depend on individual factors like age, extent of damage, and overall health. A doctor can help choose the best treatment path.
