The answer to the question "can you get pregnant when your tubes are tied" is that it is highly unlikely. No pregnancy can develop if the transport of the egg cell after the ovulation is hindered on its way to the uterus. If the tubes are very thin, they normally have very thin muscles which are not able to correctly perform the pumping movement which moves the egg cell into the uterus.

Therefore, if you ask yourself "can you get pregnant when your tubes are tied", you might find some useful information in the following.

Tied tubes or tubes with weak muscles are inherited, blocked tubes often result from inflammations of the ovary and the tubes.

These problems can only be discovered by means of medical examinations: During an X-ray examination of the tubes, a contrast medium which raises up to the tubes is entered into the uterus via the cervix. Thus, the interior of the the uterus and the tubes can be displayed very well.

More precise information can be gained by a laparoscopy. Here, the transport ability of the tubes is examined by injecting a blueish coloured liquid into the uterus. As the liquid cannot pass the blockages and scars, these are visible as notches.

As natural cure does not offer any possibilities to solve these problems, the traditional medicine has to cure these deficiencies: Tubes that are too thin or too long, can be shortened by means of an operation. Sometimes, this can be achieved by a laparoscopy, in most cases, a short abdominal cut is performed. For this operation, very fine instruments and sewing material are used in order to not take the risk that scars remain on the tender organs.
