Solution

Fallopian tubes:

  1. The fallopian tube is known as the uterine tube and the oviduct.
  2. Fallopian tubes work for carrying the egg from the ovaries to the uterus.
  3. Fallopian tubes consist of branches which are known as Fimbriae.

If fallopian tubes are blocked:

  1. Blockage in the fallopian tube leads to infertility in a woman.
  2. The egg produced by the ovary will not reach the uterus for fertilization.
  3. There will be no menstruation in a woman.
  4. Blockage in fallopian tubes will lead to many other health issues like hormonal imbalance, weight gain, facial hair, etc.

To conclude, it is very important to go through proper medication and timely diagnosis if there are any symptoms.
