Answer 1

First, I recommend that your best friend seek out an examination from a REAL OBGYN.  Considering that she had an etopic pregnancy 5 months ago and now there is mucus in her other tubes.  There are several causes to this:  

Infection - This is a very common cause. The most common infection to cause blockage is a bacteria known as Chlamydia which is a sexually transmitted disease.



Inflammation from an episode of appendicitis

Severe Endometriosis

Large fibroids in the uterus

Sterilization

Unfortunately, I do not know the age of your best friend or her childbearing wishes.  However, this is not something to wait on.  Shame on the doctor for not being more compassionate during your best friend's time of need!
