Hydrosalpinx is a condition that causes fluid to collect where the fallopian tube meets with the ovary. When this happens, a blockage of
thefallopian tubeis created and infertility becomes a major factor.
There are several
causes of Hydrosalpinx, The
primary cause of hydrosalpinx is pelvic inflammatory disease, but abortion, use of intrauterine devices, prior infection, and scarred tissues from a prior surgery or even childbirth may also cause
hydrosalpinx formation.
Other causes that could create
hydrosalpinx are sexually transmitted diseases, such as
gonorrhea or chylamdia. If these diseases go undiagnosed for a period of time, damage to the fallopian tube occurs slowly. A symptom that is common to watch out for is a severe pain in the lower abdominal and/or pelvic areas.
