The blocked tubes cause infertility. A fallopian tube filled with blood is a hematosalpinx, and with pus a pyosalpinx. [1] Hydrosalpinx is a composite of the Greek words ὕδωρ (hydōr – "water" [2]) and σάλπιγξ (sálpinx – "trumpet" [2]); its plural is hydrosalpinges.
Tuboplasty refers to a number of surgical operations that attempt to restore patency and functioning of the fallopian tube(s) so that a pregnancy could be achieved. As tubal infertility is a common cause of infertility, tuboplasties were commonly performed prior to the development of effective in vitro fertilization (IVF). [citation needed]
In 2006–2008 the UK Confidential Enquiry into Maternal Deaths found that ectopic pregnancy is the cause of 6 maternal deaths (0.26/100,000 pregnancies). [18] In the developing world, however, especially in Africa, the death rate is very high, and ectopic pregnancies are a major cause of death among women of childbearing age. [citation needed]
The average life expectancy of all domestic cat breeds was 11.7 years. Crossbreeds and Siamese came very close to that mark at 11.9 and 11.7 years, respectively.
Female cats typically outlive male cats, and crossbred cats typically outlive purebred cats. [2] [4] It has also been found that the greater a cat's weight, the lower its life expectancy on average. [4] The current oldest verified cat alive is Flossie, who was born in 1995 in the United Kingdom. [10]
Originating in Persia (modern-day Iran), Persians are one of the oldest and most recognizable cat breeds. They enjoy a life expectancy of 11 years. However, due to their distinct features, they ...

[2] Other complications are: [3] Infection of ovaries and uterus; Infection of sex partners; An abscess on the ovary; Internal scars resulting in Fitz-Hugh–Curtis syndrome of the liver [6]
A number of causes may account for a hematosalpinx, by far the most common being a tubal pregnancy. Blood may also escape into the peritoneal cavity leading to a hemoperitoneum. A hematosalpinx can also be associated with endometriosis or tubal carcinoma.
