Opening Blocked Fallopian Tubes
High success opening blocked fallopian tubes, without surgery or drugs, catering to patients from all over the US, and the world
Belinda Wurn, PT studies before and after x-rays of a patient who came to a Clear Passage clinic after being diagnosed by her physician with two severely blocked fallopian tubes. Her physician reported that one tube cleared totally and the other improved measurably, after therapy. Clear Passage Therapies ® was born when we discovered that we could open blocked fallopian tubes without drugs or surgery. Many people find the story of this discovery fascinating. Please visit our history page if you are interested in learning more.
In a study published in the peer-reviewed medical journal Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine (Jan, 2008), our non-surgical therapy achieved a 61% success rate opening blocked fallopian tubes in women with totally blocked tubes (the most challenging of our patients). That rate rivals or exceeds surgical success rates, without the risks or cost of surgery. Successes in the published study of opening blocked fallopian tubes include women with
- two totally blocked fallopian tubes,
- one tube removed and the other blocked (decreasing the chance for success),
- a hydrosalpinx (tube blocked and filled with fluid), and
- distal blockage (in a challenging area, near the ovary).
The results of therapy appear to last for years, for many clients who come to us with blocked fallopian tubes. Several women have had two or more natural full-term pregnancies after their single (20-hour) therapy session here. This contrasts with a study in Human Reproduction, which showed that 81% of tubes that were opened surgically closed again within six months, in women whose blockage was proximal (near the uterus and easier to access than distal blockage). * See our success rates for ongoing results treating many types of female infertility.
Results opening Blocked tubes
Clear Passage is committed to fact and scientific inquiry. Our recently published 'blocked tubes study' is the result of nearly two decades of research conducted under the direction and oversight of independent research scientists and physicians.

Locations of blockage
Our rates for opening blocked tubes were very similar (within 1%) for proximal occlusion (near the uterus) and distal occlusion (near the ovary). We have also seen promising results in women who have a hydrosalpinx. For more information, please visit our hydrosalpinx page.
Pregnancy results
Of our successes, 53% reported a natural intrauterine pregnancy within the first two years after therapy. Both of these statistics (61% opening, 53% of those becoming pregnant) are considered remarkable in a population that had no chance of natural pregnancy before therapy, and in a difficult area to treat successfully, with surgery.
Side effects, complications
Women who have had problems with their fallopian tubes are at increased risk of ectopic pregnancies (pregnancy within the tube). This is a serious condition, and any pregnancy in this group should be monitored carefully for ectopics. We are pleased that none of our successes had an ectopic. In fact, only one study participant had an ectopic. Remarkably, this ectopic occurred in a woman whose tubes did not open (per her post-treatment HSG).
Patients did report decreased period and intercourse pain and increased sexual function (desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm and satisfaction) as positive side effects of therapy.
Duration of results
Some women reported more than one pregnancy in the two years that we followed our patients after therapy. This indicates that our results appear to last. This may be contrasted with a surgery to open tubes, as noted in a recent medical study (below).
After surgical opening of blocked tubes, many fallopian tubes close again within a few months, presumably due to the adhesions that form after surgery. This concern was documented in a study published in Human Reproduction. According to the journal, after a minimally invasive surgical procedure for proximal blockage (the easiest for surgeons to repair), tubes became blocked again in 81% of patients after only six months. This apparently does not happen after our work, theoretically because it is less invasive than surgery.
Other procedures
Many infertility procedures attempt to surgically bypass the actual cause of female infertility. Surgical techniques such as IVF, GIFT and other artificial reproductive techniques try to bypass poor reproductive function between the ovaries and the uterus. As remarkable as these procedures are, it is unfortunate that each procedure provides only one opportunity for pregnancy.
Artificial insemination attempts to assist sperm to enter the uterus, but it is useless if there is no ‘clear passage' through the fallopian tubes for the egg. Blocked fallopian tubes prevent the sperm and egg from meeting, thus preventing pregnancy.
Clear Passage Therapies®
We address the cause of many types of female infertility, including totally blocked fallopian tubes. Interestingly, it seems to make little difference if the tubes have been blocked for a year, or a decade. Clear Passage therapists have been shown to open blocked fallopian tubes in about two-thirds of the women who come to us with reports of totally blocked tubes.
