Hi,
In the current scenario, I would ask you to get a second opinion. There is no such known treatment like blocking a fallopian tube to prevent the uterus from getting infected. In fact, tubal blocks are a common feature of endometriosis and need to be cleared in whatever way possible if conception is wished for. Also, if one tube is patent it is enough for conception to occur. Please consult an infertility specialist for further support. The more number of surgical procedures you undergo in endometriosis, the more is the likelihood of scars. Hope this helps.
