Illustration of fallopian tube infertility
Illustration of fallopian tube infertility. A fallopian tube extends from the uterus to each ovary; it transports eggs and sperm, and is the site of fertilization. Disorders of the fallopian tubes are thus a common cause of infertility. Here a blockage of the tube (lower left) has occurred. The ovary is at lower centre (grey). The funnel- shaped opening of the fallopian tube with its finger-like projections (fimbriae) are at upper centre. An infection is causing the fallopian tube opening to weep fluid. Blockage of the tube lead- ing to infertility can be through bacterial infec- tion causing tube inflammation (Salpingitis); venereal disease; and ectopic pregnancy

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the intricate details of fallopian tube infertility, shedding light on a common cause of reproductive challenges. The illustration showcases the fallopian tube, which connects the uterus to each ovary and plays a crucial role in transporting eggs and sperm for fertilization. However, disorders affecting these delicate tubes can lead to infertility. In this image, we witness a blockage occurring in the lower left section of the fallopian tube. The grey ovary is positioned at the lower center while above it lies the funnel-shaped opening of the fallopian tube with its finger-like projections known as fimbriae. Unfortunately, an infection has caused fluid to seep from this opening, further complicating matters. Various factors contribute to such blockages leading to infertility; bacterial infections causing inflammation (Salpingitis), venereal diseases, or even ectopic pregnancies can all disrupt normal functioning. Through this artwork created by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into one aspect of female reproductive health that often goes unnoticed. It serves as a reminder that understanding and addressing conditions like blocked fallopian tubes are vital steps towards providing effective healthcare solutions for those struggling with infertility.
