As the ovaries are close to fallopian tubes, salpingitis can lead to ovaritis. Therefore, ovaritis is associated with salpingitis, which is known as salpingo-ovaritis or annexitis.
The damage of ovaries can lead to irregular menstruation, ovulation failure and adhesions of Fallopian tubes, thereby causing female infertility.
Salpingo-ovaritis is often associated with inflammation of ovarian connective tissue, pelvic peritonitis and chronic salpingitis.
The recurrent chronic inflammations can lead to pelvic congestion and fiberization of the connective tissues, thereby causing adhesions of organs in pelvic cavity. The adhesions will lead to tubal distal adhesions, tubal uplift, curved fallopian tubes and adhesion of ovaries, thereby resulting in infertility.
