How Do Fallopian Tube Motility Problems Affect Fertility?
The fallopian tubes play a crucial role in the process of fertilization by transporting the egg from the ovary to the uterus.

Conditions like salpingitis (inflammation of the fallopian tubes) and hydrosalpinx (fluid-filled tubes) are common culprits.
