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.
Treatment of fallopian tube obstruction has traditionally been treated with fallopian tubal surgery with a goal of restoring patency to the tubes and thus possibly normal function. A common modern day method of treatment is in vitro fertilization as it is more cost-effective, less invasive, and results are immediate.
Salpingitis is an infection causing inflammation in the fallopian tubes (also called salpinges). It is often included in the umbrella term of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), along with endometritis, oophoritis, myometritis, parametritis, and peritonitis. [1] [2]
The fallopian tubes, also known as uterine tubes, oviducts [1] or salpinges (sg.: salpinx), are paired tubular sex organs in the human female body that stretch from the ovaries to the uterus. The fallopian tubes are part of the female reproductive system. In other vertebrates, they are only called oviducts. [2]
The guidance to remove fallopian tubes in order to prevent ovarian cancer is not entirely new, DeFeo said. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has recommended the procedure ...
HSG test to know the blockage of the fallopian tubes. Hysterosalpingography (HSG), also known as uterosalpingography, [1] is a radiologic procedure to investigate the shape of the uterine cavity and the shape and patency of the fallopian tubes. It is a special x-ray procedure using dye to look at the womb and fallopian tubes. [2]

Other indications for a salpingectomy include infected tubes (as in a hydrosalpinx) or as part of the surgical procedure for tubal cancer. [citation needed] A bilateral salpingectomy will lead to sterility, and was used for that purpose; however, less invasive, possibly reversible procedures have become available as tubal occlusion procedures.
