A woman's two fallopian tubes lead upward from each upper side
of the uterus and end near the ovaries. When an egg is released
by an ovary (ovulation), it travels down a fallopian tube toward
the uterus. After ovulation, egg fertilization usually happens
in a fallopian tube. The fertilized egg then travels to the
uterus, where it implants and grows. If a woman's fallopian
tubes are blocked by scar tissue, such as from pelvic
inflammatory disease, she may be unable to become pregnant or
have a tubal (ectopic) pregnancy. eMedicineHealth Medical
